Chapter 16.5, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The resonance structures for the carbocation formed after loss of a leaving group from phytyldiphosphate is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The Friedel-Craft alkylation is a type of electrophilic substitution reaction. AlCl3 is used as Lewis acid which reacts with the alkyl chloride to a form a Lewis acid-base complex.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The two-step mechanism for Friedel–Crafts alkylation of 1, 4-dihydroxynaphthoic acid with carbocation to form X is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The Friedel-Craft alkylation is a type of electrophilic substitution reaction. AlCl3 is used as Lewis acid which reacts with the alkyl chloride to a form a Lewis acid-base complex.

I have a question about this problem involving mechanisms and drawing curved arrows for acids and bases. I know we need to identify the nucleophile and electrophile, but are there different types of reactions? For instance, what about Grignard reagents and other types that I might not be familiar with? Can you help me with this? I want to identify the names of the mechanisms for problems 1-14, such as Gilman reagents and others. Are they all the same? Also, could you rewrite it so I can better understand? The handwriting is pretty cluttered. Additionally, I need to label the nucleophile and electrophile, but my main concern is whether those reactions differ, like the "Brønsted-Lowry acid-base mechanism, Lewis acid-base mechanism, acid-catalyzed mechanisms, acid-catalyzed reactions, base-catalyzed reactions, nucleophilic substitution mechanisms (SN1 and SN2), elimination reactions (E1 and E2), organometallic mechanisms, and so forth."
