Interpretation:
The structure of the product is to be drawn for the given reaction from the given data.
Concept introduction:
The
Thus, both can react with the nucleophile depending, on the nature of the nucleophile and the regioselectivity of the reaction.
When the nucleophile adds to the carbonyl carbon, the reaction yields a
When the nucleophile adds to the

- Fluorination of a benzene ring can be accomplished with Selectfluor, a reagent that contains a fluorine bonded to a positively charged nitrogen atom. Fluorination is a useful reaction because several common drugs, such as the cholesterol-lowering drug atorvastatin, contain a fluorine bonded to an aromatic ring. Assuming that fluorination is analogous to other examples of electrophilic aromatic substitution, draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction.arrow_forwardFluorination of a benzene ring can be accomplished with Selectfluor, a reagent that contains a fluorine bonded to a positively charged nitrogen atom.
