Consider each elementary step present in the mechanism of an acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a nitrile. Draw the organic intermediate after each elementary step. NOTE from Dr. Mahoney: Your mechanism will only cover the hydrolysis of a nitrile to an amide product. It will not cover the conversion of the amide to the final carboxylic acid H30* H2O Step 3 Step 5 Step 4

Solvolysis of the following bicyclic compound in acetic acid gives a mixture of products, two of which are shown. The leaving group is the anion of a sulfonic acid, ArSO3H. A sulfonic acid is a strong acid, and its anion, ArSO3, is a weak base and a good leaving group. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.
Luminol, which is used by forensic scientists to find blood, fluoresces as a result of Dielsâ€“Alder-like process. The dianion of luminol reacts with O2 to form an unstable peroxide intermediate that then loses nitrogen to form a dicarboxylate and emit light. The process is similar to that in 14-21 and 14-22. Propose a mechanism for this process.
