Chapter 2.4, Problem 2.18P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The curved arrows has to be drawn for the given conversion.

Concept Introduction:

Resonance is a way of representing a structure which has the same connectivity but the electrons are distributed differently in the structures.  In resonance structure drawing, the electrons are considered as clouds.  These electron clouds very often spread across a large region of a molecule.  Curved arrows are the best way to represent the resonance structures.  With the help of curved arrows, the movement of electron can be shown.  Every curved arrow comprises of a head and tail.  Tail shows the place from where electrons are coming and head shown the place where electrons are going.  It is not the electrons migrating as such.  We treat the electrons to migrate to draw all resonance structures.  For drawing curved arrows, two important commandments has to be always followed.  They are,

  • Thou shall not break a single bond.
  • Thou shall not exceed an octet for second-row elements (C,N,O,F).

Resonance structures should have the same connectivity.  Hence, breaking of a single bond is not at all allowed.

Second-row elements should never exceed the octet.  This is because they have only four orbitals in their valence shell.  The sum of bonds and the lone pairs for second row elements should never exceed the number four.

Would the following organic synthesis occur in one step? Add any missing products, required catalysts, inorganic reagents, and other important conditions. Please include a detailed explanation and drawings showing how the reaction may occur in one step.
This organic molecule is dissolved in an acidic aqueous solution: OH OH A short time later sensitive infrared spectroscopy reveals the presence of a new C = O stretch absorption. That is, there must now be a new molecule present with at least one C = O bond. In the drawing area below, show the detailed mechanism that could convert the molecule above into the new molecule.
