Question
Chapter 2.3, Problem 2.9E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Mechanism of below acid-base reaction should be drawn by curved arrows.
Concept introduction: In accordance with Bronsted definition an acid act as proton donor and a base can act as proton acceptor. Thus in a typical acid-base reaction, the fundamental principle is a lone pair of base reaches out for an acidic proton. Similarly, curved arrows are used for departing conjugate base. After deprotonation, the species left with negative charge is refers as conjugate base of acid while the other with positive charge is termed conjugate acid of given base.
