Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The arrow pushing method is to be interpreted for the given transformation:
Concept introduction: Intermediates like the carbocation can rearrange to give more stable carbocation. The stability order of carbocation is:
Tertiary >Secondary >Primary This transformation can occur with the hydride shift; methylene shifts or methyl shift. The arrow pushing method helps to identify the curved arrows and transformation.
