- Using ChemDraw Draw a mechanism of a reversible reaction of acetophenone and strong acid (H-A) to form a protonated acetophenone and a weak base. Draw all the electron pairs of the molecules and the arrows.arrow_forwardDevise a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction. (Hint: The mechanism begins with the conjugate addition of −OH.)arrow_forwardDraw the product formed when the α,β-unsaturated ketone A is treated with each reagent.a. NaBH4, CH3OH b. H2 (1 equiv), Pd-C c. H2 (excess), Pd-C d. [1] CH3Li; [2] H2O e. [1] CH3CH2MgBr; [2] H2O f. [1] (CH2=CH)2CuLi; [2] H2Oarrow_forward
