Chapter 6, Problem 39P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given nitrile is to be related to (-)-citronellol by a retrosynthetic analysis and the retrosynthesis is to be converted to a synthesis.

Concept introduction:

Retrosynthetic analysis is used to determine the possible steps and reagents for producing a particular compound from a given compound.

The best path is the one having the least number of steps.

SN2 reactions occur with carbon atoms having the least substituents and reaction takes place with inversion of configuration.

Aprotic solvents, good leaving groups, and good nucleophiles promote these reactions.

So I'm working on molecular geometry. Can you help me with this stuff here and create three circles: one that's 120, one that’s 180, and one that’s 109.5?
Curved arrows are used to illustrate the flow of electrons. Using the provided starting and product structures, draw the curved electron-pushing arrows for the following reaction or mechanistic step(s). Be sure to account for all bond-breaking and bond-making steps. Problem 164 of N Select to Add Arrows CHI CH 1 1 1 P
using these can you help me , I guess convert them to lewis dit structures or full drawn out skeletal and I guess is that what would help me depict the bond angle.
