Chapter 6.SE, Problem 43AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Curved arrows are to be added to the mechanism shown (problem 6-42) to indicate the electron movement in each step.

Concept introduction:

Curved arrows start from a nucleophilic source (neutral or negatively charged) and end in an electrophilic sink (neutral or positively charged). During the flow of the electrons if one bond is broken other has to be formed so as to maintain the octet rule.

To add:

Curved arrows to the mechanism shown in problem 6-42(equation given) to indicate the electron movement in each step.
