Chapter 7, Problem 7.58P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product for each given step with appropriate curved arrows is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

In the nucleophilic addition step, the nucleophile adds to the polar π bond. The nucleophile is relatively electron rich, and the polar π bond is relatively electron poor. Thus, the curved arrow drawn from the nucleophile to the polar π bond represents the flow of electrons from an electron rich site to an electron poor site.

In the nucleophilic elimination step, the more electronegative atom bears full negative charge or partial negative charge. This is the electron rich atom and the less electronegative atom bonded to an electronegative atom is relatively electron poor. The curved arrow drawn from the lone pair of electron rich atom points to the bonding region between the more electronegative atom and less electronegative atom representing the electron flow from an electron rich site to an electron poor site. The second curved arrow is drawn to represent the breaking of the bond between the less electronegative atom and the leaving group to avoid exceeding an octet on the less electronegative atom.

PLEASE READ!!! I DONT WANT EXAMPLES, I DONT WANT WORDS OR PARAGRAPHS FOR THE MECHANISM!!! THANKS First image: QUESTION 6. I have to show, with ARROWS and STRUCTURES, the mechanism of the reaction at the bottom. Also I have to show by mecanism why the reaction wouldn't work if the alcohol was primary. I also tried to draw the mechanism, tell me what to change. Please note that its an AMIDE thats formed not an AMINE the nitrogen has ONE hydrogen and one Phenyl-C-Phenyl. I already asked for this mechanism and got as a final product ...-NH2 not whats shown on the picture, thank you Ths second part. QUESTION 3. I just need a way to synthesize the lactone A, I already started please continue from where I left it  Second image: I simply need the products, substrates or reagents, thank you
