Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The curved-arrow mechanism, nucleophile, the nucleophilic center, the electrophile, the electrophilic center, and the leaving group are to be stated for the given reaction. The analogous Brønsted acid-base reaction and the Brønsted acid and Brønsted base of the final product are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Brønsted bases are those species which accept a proton. They are also known as proton acceptor. Base accepts a proton and forms conjugate acid. Brønsted acids are those species which donate a proton. They are also known as proton donor. Acid loses a proton and forms conjugate base. 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. Bronsted acid-base reactions are those reactions in which electron pair displacement takes place and electrophilic center is a proton.
