Question
Provide the curved-arrow mechanism to account for the following nucleophilic addition- elimination reaction.
The image displays a chemical reaction involving ethyl acetate and sodium azide (NaN3) resulting in an acyl azide product. **Diagram Explanation:** 1. **Reactant:** - Ethyl acetate: An ester with the formula CH₃COOC₂H₅, depicted on the left of the reaction arrow. 2. **Reagent:** - Sodium azide (NaN₃): Indicated above the reaction arrow, it acts as a nucleophile in the reaction. 3. **Product:** - Acyl azide: Formed as the result of the reaction, with the azide group (N₃) replacing the ethoxy group of the ester, creating the compound RCON₃. This reaction is typically used in organic synthesis as a step in the preparation of amines by the Curtius rearrangement.
