The Wolff–Kishner reaction uses hydrazine (H2NNH2) and hydroxide (–OH) to reduce a carbonyl to the alkane. The first steps of the mechanism convert a carbonyl to a hydrazone in a manner similar to imine formation. Draw the mechanism arrows for the reaction from the hydrazone to the alkane. Be sure to add lone pairs of electrons and nonzero formal charges to all species.

Please help me with the organic chemistry problem below: Consider the reaction below: (Check the attached image) (it is between Furan and maleic anhydride, a DIels-Alder reaction) a) Will this reaction for an endo product (with a melting point of 80-81 degrees) or the exo product (with a melitng point of 114 degrees)? b) Carefully explain why the product must have been formed the way it did (exo or endo). c) Provide a mechanism for this reaction.
The electrophilic addition reaction shown below involves a carbocation rearrangement. For the mechanism step below, draw curved arrows to show electron reorganization. Use the arrow tool to specify the origin and the destination of the reorganizing electrons. Consult the arrow-pushing instructions for the convention on regiospecific electrophilic attack on a double bond. I understand how it's supposed to be laid out. I'm just unsure of where the first arrow comes from as there are a lot of positions. I have attached examples on what positions I mean. Thank you.

The reaction of 1-iodopropane with potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) in certain solvents results in the formation of two isomeric products, propylthiocyanate and propylisothiocyanate (see scheme below), via the SN2 reaction mechanism. Attempts to prepare a similar mixture of these same isomeric products (propylthiocyanate and propylisothiocyanate) starting from 1-propene is illustrated below. Despite the strong acidity of thiocyanic acid (recall pKa = 1.1), this addition reaction does not lead to either of the products indicated. Based on your knowledge of alkene addition reactions, explain this experimental result.
