(a)
Interpretation:
For the compound (1) treated with LDA, the Resonance stabilized anion formed has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Bronsted-Lowry Acidity: Qualitative analysis; without using
Conjugate base stability: As the acid deprotonates, the stability of conjugate base formed is analyzed on the basis of electronegativity, size of the atom, inductive effect and orbitals.
Factors affecting the stability of Negative charges:
- Compare the atoms bearing the negative charge. If the negative charge is on high electronegative atom, more the conjugate base is stabilized and the compound readily donates proton.
- Compare the atoms in the same column. If the negative charge is in the same column of periodic table, no more electronegativity will be the dominant effect. Instead dominant effect is SIZE. Larger the size of the atom, better stabilize a negative charge by that atom.
- Resonance: Resonance effect (delocalization of electrons over the alternative double bond system) that makes the conjugate base more stable than rest.
Curved arrows: Curved arrows are used to show the direction of electrons movement. It has a tail (the source of electrons, usually lone pair or bonding pair from a sigma or pi-bond) and head (the destination of electrons, usually forming new lone pair on atom or a new bond). Electrons always flow from high electron density to low electron density.
(b)
Interpretation:
Mechanism for the conversion of structure (1) to (3) has to be drawn and the step is irreversible has to be explained.

(c)
Interpretation:
The factor that render compound (6) a stable anion has to be described.
Concept Introduction:
Flow of electron density: Curved arrow notation: In the acid-base reaction, the flow of electron from high electron density to low density using curved arrow.
