Question
On a page titled Incorrect Mechanism print the incorrect mechanism provided for your
molecule on Blackboard. For the mechanism you will focus on the reaction of the portion
of the molecule drawn only (not the R part). The molecule will be drawn with R groups so
that you may ignore other reactive parts of the molecule. In fact, it is essential that the R
groups are ignored even if they may have an effect on the mechanism. This is not why the
mechanism is incorrect. For any corrections, disregard the parts of your molecule
represented by R-groups.
o Below the incorrect mechanism write a discussion of the incorrect
mechanism identifying all of the mistakes in the mechanism. Keep in mind
that there will be more than one mistake in the given mechanism and that
the product given is not necessarily the correct product of the reaction of
your molecule with the given reagent.
o For each mistake, give a detailed, scientific explanation of why it is
incorrect.
> On a page titled Correct Mechanism print/draw a correct mechanism to react your

arrives at the correct product of the reaction. The incorrect mechanism may or may not
have the correct product
