(a)
Interpretation:
The intermediate (A) formed by the reactants has to be identified. The mechanism for the formation of intermediate has to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Base abstracts an acidic proton to form a negatively charged species. The negative charged species is called nucleophile. The carbon which is attached to the electronegative atom is called the electrophilic carbon.
In the
(b)
Interpretation:
The mechanism for the conversion of A to B has to be shown. The compound which formed more rapidly has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The reaction which takes place between two or more than two atoms which are present in the same molecule are called the intramolecular reactions.

- In the box to the left of each reaction below, write the mechanism by which it occurs (could be SN1, SN2, or E1, or even 2 of them). Then draw the product(s).arrow_forwardWhat is the product of the illustrated mechanism? A B C Darrow_forwardAlkyl diazonium salts decompose to form carbocations, which go on to form products of substitution, elimination, and (sometimes) rearrangement. Keeping this in mind, draw a stepwise mechanism that forms all of the following products.arrow_forward
