(a)
Interpretation:
The intermediate (A) formed by the reactants has to be identified. The mechanism for the formation of intermediate has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Base abstracts an acidic proton to form a negatively charged species. The negative charged species is called nucleophile. The carbon which is attached to the electronegative atom is called the electrophilic carbon.
In the
(b)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the conversion of A to B has to be shown. The compound which formed more rapidly has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The reaction which takes place between two or more than two atoms which are present in the same molecule are called the intramolecular reactions.
