This organic molecule is dissolved in a basic aqueous solution: A short time later sensitive infrared spectroscopy reveals the presence of a new C - OH stretch absorption. That is, there must now be a new molecule present with at least one C - OH bond. In the drawing area below, show the detailed mechanism that could convert the molecule above into the new molecule.
