- The reaction shown here is called the pinacol rearrangement. A carbocation rearrangement is believed to be involved. (a) Propose a reasonable mechanism for this reaction. (b) Suggest why the carbocation rearrangement is favorable. HO ОНarrow_forwardDescribe a sequence of reactions for the following reactionarrow_forwardDraw the mechanism arrows for the reaction between an acid chloride and an alcohol.arrow_forward
- a.) Rank the attached compounds in order of increasing acidity. (b)Which compound forms the strongest conjugate base?arrow_forwardIdentify the electrophile and the nucleophile in each of the following reaction steps. Then draw curved arrows to illustrate the bond-making and bond-breaking processes.arrow_forwardThe reaction is a nucleophilic substitution, A is OH- and B is an alkyl bromide. Give the reaction mechanism and explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- Provide a clear explanation , if possible draw the reaction.arrow_forward2) For two of the following pairs of compounds, identify the most basic atom in each compound, and determine which of each pair is more basic, explaining your reasoning. a) b)arrow_forwardComplete the following reaction with its mechanism.arrow_forward
- The bromination of benzene requires a Lewis acid catalyst such as FeBr3, butthe bromination of naphthalene does not. Explain why.arrow_forwardGive a clear explanation handwritten answer..complete the following reaction with explanationarrow_forwardProvide a mechanism for the intramolecular nucleophilic addition and elimination reaction shown here by providing the missing structures (including the final product) and curved arrows. The reaction resembles a Dieckmann condensation, except instead of two esters, the molecule contains an ester and a ketone. The ketone is more acidic and will be the nucleophile. Your structures should include all nonzero formal charges and lone pairs of electrons. When drawing the enolate place the negative charge on the carbon not the oxygen.arrow_forward
