Question
### Exercise 4

Using curved arrows, draw a reaction mechanism and predict the products.

#### Lewis Acid-Base Reaction

**a)** 

- Two reactants are shown. The first is a molecule containing a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to a methyl group.
- The second reactant is a nitrogen atom with a lone pair, bonded to two alkyl groups (an amine group).
- An arrow points from the lone pair on the nitrogen towards the carbon of the carbonyl group, indicating a nucleophilic attack.

#### Bronsted Acid-Base Reaction

**b)** 

- Two reactants are depicted. The first is a phosphorus atom with a lone pair, bonded to three methyl groups (a phosphine).
- The second is aluminum chloride (AlCl₃).
- An arrow indicates the interaction between the phosphorus atom and AlCl₃, suggesting a potential reaction mechanism. 

In both reaction schemes, students are expected to apply the concept of electron flow using curved arrows to determine the nature of the products formed.
