Part A Draw a mechanism for a base-catalyzed polymerization of methyl a-methacrylate to give the PlexiglasB polymer (as far as the dimer). 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. EXP CONT.
