Reactions at the Alpha Carbon Atom
The position next to the ketone or aldehyde functional group is termed as alpha position and the reaction which occurs at alpha position is called alpha substitution reaction. In an alpha substitution reaction, the alpha proton atom is substituted by an …

Chapter 18, Problem 67P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of the product formed from the given reaction is to be drawn, and an explanation for its formation is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The OH groups are poor leaving groups. Therefore, they do not undergo substitution reaction until they are converted into good leaving group. The conversion of OH into good leaving group is possible, if reaction is acid catalyzed.

Shown below is the mechanism presented for the formation of biasplatin in reference 1 from the Background and Experiment document. The amounts used of each reactant are shown.  Either draw or describe a better alternative to this mechanism. (Note that the first step represents two steps combined and the proton loss is not even shown; fixing these is not the desired improvement.)  (Hints: The first step is correct, the second step is not; and the amount of the anhydride is in large excess to serve a purpose.)
