Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given reaction is to be classified as either a proton transfer reaction or a reaction of electrophile and nucleophile. The movement of electrons is to be shown by curved arrows.
Concept introduction: Lewis acid accepts an electron pair. It acts as an electrophile Lewis base donates an electron pair. It acts as nucleophile. Conjugate base is formed by the loss of a proton from an acid while conjugate acid is formed by the gain of electron by a base.

- How would melting point determination help us narrow down the identity of a product or products of an organic chemistry reaction? a. The higher the melting point, the more of the desired product has formed. b. The lower the melting point, the more of the desired product has formed. c. A narrow melting point range would suggest that only one product has formed, a wide melting point range would suggest a mixture of products. d. A wide melting point range would suggest that only one product has formed, a narrow melting point range would suggest a mixture of products.arrow_forwardThe formate and methoxide ions are both formed by removing a hydrogen atom from a corresponding neutral compound. Given that each process involves the breaking of an O-H bond, explain why the formate ion is so much more stable than the methoxide ion.arrow_forwardChemistry organic chem question.arrow_forward
