- Please provide a complete, detailed curved-arrow mechanism for the following reaction. Include ALL lone pairs and formal charges. Using the mechanism and a few words, explain why the NaOH deprotonates at the a-position and not the b-position or the aldehyde hydrogen. Also, explain why the indicated alkene is formed in the 2nd second rather than the other possible alkene product.arrow_forwardList the appropriate reagents that can be used in places with questions in the following series of reactions.arrow_forwardComplete the following reaction scheme , Complete the following reaction schemearrow_forward
- Alkyl diazonium salts decompose to form carbocations, which go on to form products of substitution, elimination, and (sometimes) rearrangement. Keeping this in mind, draw a stepwise mechanism that forms all of the following products.arrow_forwardPlease provide a complete, detailed curved-arrow mechanism for the following reaction.Include ALL lone pairs and formal charges. Using the mechanism and a few words,explain the why the NaH deprotonates at the selected a-position and not the other a-position.
