Chapter 20, Problem 20.37AP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why all efforts to synthesize a carboxylic acid containing the isotope oxygen 18 at only the carbonyl oxygen fail and yield instead a carboxylic acid in which the labeled oxygen is distributed equally between both oxygen atoms of the carboxy group is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The delocalization of electrons results in the formation of resonance structure. The curved-arrow notation traces the flow of the electrons in a compound. This notation is used to derive the resonance structure.
