Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The curved arrow notation for the elimination of H+ from the carbocation shown is to be drawn along with the product.

Concept introduction:

Curved arrows are used to represent the movement of electrons in a reaction mechanism. The arrow starts on an electron-rich atom or an electron-rich region such as a pi bond. It ends on an electron poor atom when the movement results in the formation of a new sigma bond. If the result is the formation of a pi bond, the arrow ends in the region between the two atoms that form the bond.

A carbocation is a positively charged carbon atom that is electron-poor, two electrons short of an octet. A nearby bond or a lone pair on a nearby atom acts as an electron-rich region and can transfer the pair of electrons to the electron-poor atom. This can result in the formation of a more stable neutral species, accompanied by the loss of an electrophile. The electrophile may be a proton or another cationic species and is extracted by any base that may be present.

Each of the highlighted carbon atoms is connected to hydrogen atoms.
く Complete the reaction in the drawing area below by adding the major products to the right-hand side. If there won't be any products, because nothing will happen under these reaction conditions, check the box under the drawing area instead. Note: if the products contain one or more pairs of enantiomers, don't worry about drawing each enantiomer with dash and wedge bonds. Just draw one molecule to represent each pair of enantiomers, using line bonds at the chiral center. More... No reaction. Explanation Check O + G 1.
