a) Propose a mechanism for the following electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction used to make the synthetic dye shown below. This reaction is also called a "diazo coupling". NEN N. butter yellow (synthetic dye) b) Explain why the para pathway would be favored over the meta pathway. Be sure to draw all resonance structures for the para pathway and include a sentence or two for a full explanation. Why would the para pathway be favored over the ortho pathway?

Draw a curved arrow mechanism for the substitution reaction that will occur with the alkyl halide and nucleophile below, adding steps as necessary. Be sure to include all nonbonding electrons and all nonzero formal charges, and show all species that react or are formed in this reaction.
Please provide a detailed mechanism for the following transformation. Also, show the appropriate curved arrows to rationalize the next step. The quality of the electron pushing counts.
Consider the reaction: Draw out the two possible substitution reaction pathways (SN1 and SN2) and include all possible products. Include the structure of any intermediates and provide the curly arrow mechanisms required for both pathways. Using your answer to the above, justify which reaction pathway (SN1 or SN2) is more likely to occur
Complete the curved-arrow mechanism for the scheme below by adding any missing atoms, bonds, charges, nonbonding electrons, and curved arrows.
Nucleophilic attack may appear to occur in two steps as shown below. The alcohol is the nucleophile in this example. It attacks a carbon with a δ+ charge. The second arrow shows the flow of negative charge. WHY is it necessary? The second arrow could be thought of as a resonance arrow. HOW?

please draw detailed mechanism. mention which one is the nucleophile, electrophile,base/ acid. Also talk about stereochemistry/ regioselectivity. In terms of stereochemistry why are we getting trans alkene. Why is the trans alkene Produced is it due choosing PPh2 as regeant? Also This reaction is the Horner wadsworth emmond wittig.
Draw a mechanism for the reaction of methylamine with formic acid. In the box to the left, draw any necessary curved arrows. Show the products of the reaction in the box to the right. Include any nonzero formal charges and all lone pairs of electrons. Finally, check the box to indicate which side of the reaction is favored at equilibrium.
answer question and provide explanations that are easy to follow
Can you assist me in spotting my error in drawing out this mechanism? I understand that it's an SN1 reaction and can't figure out why the the drawing is incorrect. Thank you very much. Original Question: Draw the mechanism for the following reaction: Edit the reaction by drawing all steps in the appropriate boxes and connecting them with reaction arrows. Add charges where needed. Electron-flow arrows should start on the electron(s) of an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created.
