(a)
Interpretation:
The curved arrow mechanism for the given reaction that can be used to form three-membered rings is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The curved-arrow notation is used to show the transfer of electrons from one atom to another. The curved arrow has two barbs (head and tail) which represent the direction of electron flow.
The chemical name of glycidic ester is
