Chapter 9, Problem 82IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Mechanism should be drawn for the given transformation reaction.

Concept introduction:

• Mechanism: mechanism describes the reaction path and process. In reaction mechanism, curved arrows are used to show the electron transfer from one group to another.
• Curved arrow direction should be from lone pair electrons to electron deficient species such as carbocation etc.
• Iodination: iodination of alkene proceeds through a three membered cyclic iodonium intermediate formation. This three membered cyclic iodonium ion opens up by the nucleophilic attack.
