Chapter 1, Problem 88P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The curved arrows that show the movement of electrons in step [1] are to be added.

Concept introduction: In the representation of a chemical reaction, the movement of electrons is shown by the curved arrows. This method shows the movement of electrons of electrons in resonance structures as well.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The curved arrows that helps in the identification of structure X in the given reaction are to be drawn and the conversion of structure X into phenol and HCl is to be shown in step [3].
