**Title: Understanding Tetrahedral Intermediates in Acyl Transfer Reactions**

In acyl transfer reactions (nucleophilic substitution at carbonyl), the reaction proceeds in two stages via a "tetrahedral intermediate." Here, we'll explore the formation of this intermediate through a given reaction.

**Reaction Overview:**

The reaction involves a compound with the structure: 

- A benzene ring attached to a carbonyl group (C=O) with a chlorine (Cl) substituent on the carbonyl carbon.
- This is reacted with a molecule containing an amine group (NH2) and a hydroxyl group (OH).

**Steps to Draw the Tetrahedral Intermediate:**

1. **Identify the Reactants:**
   - Reactant 1: A benzene ring attached to a carbonyl group (C=O) with a chlorine (Cl) substituent on the carbonyl carbon.
   - Reactant 2: Molecule with an amine group (NH2) and a hydroxyl group (OH).

2. **Formation of the Intermediate:**
   - The nucleophilic attack takes place when the amine nitrogen (NH2) attacks the carbonyl carbon (C=O) of the benzoyl chloride. 

3. **After the Nucleophilic Attack:**
   - This attack results in the addition of the nucleophile (NH2 group) to the carbonyl carbon, breaking the double bond (C=O) and forming a single bond (C-OH). The carbon now has four single bonds, making it a tetrahedral intermediate.

**Key Points:**

- You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
- Include all valence lone pairs in your drawing.
- Do not include counter-ions like \( \text{Na}^+ \) or \( \text{I}^- \).
- If more than one intermediate can be formed, just draw one.

**Diagrams:**

The diagram editor tools available will allow you to draw the various bonds and lone pairs needed to represent the tetrahedral intermediate accurately. 

- **Benzene ring structure**: Use the hexagon symbol.
- **Carbonyl group (C=O)**: Draw the double bond from the hexagon (benzene) to the oxygen atom.
- **Chlorine substituent**: Draw the Cl atom on the carbonyl carbon before reaction and indicate its replacement after the nucleophilic attack.
