Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Movement of electrons should be indicated using curved arrows for the given reaction.
Concept introduction:
Mechanism of the reaction is the step-by-step description of the process by which reactants are changed into products.
Curved arrows show the bonds that are formed and the bonds that are broken in a reaction.
Curved arrows used to understand a reaction mechanism.
Curved arrows are drawn to show how the electrons move as new covalent bonds are formed existing covalent bonds are broken.
Each arrow represents the simultaneous movement of two electrons from a nucleophile towards an electrophile.
The tail of the arrow is positioned where the electrons are in the reactant; the tail always starts at a lone pair of electron or at a bond.
The head of the arrow points to where these same electrons end up in the product; the arrow always points at an atom or a bond.

- •OOH H H atom abstraction Consider the hydrogen atom abstraction step in an autooxidation mechanism, as shown above. Which of the following represents the intermediate that is formed in this step? OOH ? .00.arrow_forwardMore than one reagent/reaction will be necessary to produce the product from the reactant provided. You must provide all necessary reaction conditions (HBr, HgSO4, etc.) and the products produced after each step of the synthesis.arrow_forwardReaction coordinate diagrams: Two-step diagram. Label the reactant (R), product (P), intermediate (I"), and transition states (TS; and TS2), plus the axis with appropriate units/labels. 1) Break the diagram up into 2 steps. Which one is the slow step? The fast step? 2) Endothermic or exothermic? Suppose a is added to step one. Sketch the effect of this addition on the diagram. You can identify the intermediates and by remembering: Intermediates are and then Catalysts are added to a reaction (like a reactant), and are at the end. Practice: Identify the reactants, products, intermediate(s), and catalyst(s). Put a star next to the rate-determining step.
