Chapter 3, Problem 102EQ

curved arrows are used to illustrate flow of electrons. draw the curved electron-pushing arrows for the following reaction or mechanistic steps HCl

This is supposed to be a Robinson Annulation reaction.

Draw structures for the carbonyl electrophile and enolate nucleophile that react to give the aldol or enone below.   You do not have to consider stereochemistry. Draw the enolate ion in its carbanion form. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple reactants using the + sign from the drop-down menu.

Why do we need to use lewis acids before electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction proceeds? to produce a better nucleophile to make the reaction proceed faster to make the starting material more activated to produce a better electrophile

show the steps of this reaction please

How does the negative inductive effect (−I) of chlorine in the ortho position of the phenol, reduce the negative charge, located on the oxygen of the phenolate anion? Is this why the Oxygen in the phenolate ion will act as a worse nucleophile if the Chlorine is in the ortho position vs the para position?

What is the strongest nucleophile, NH3, CH4, CH3O-, or H2O?

Organic Chemistry II: How do we know which direct the reaction? Why Methoxy Functional Group direct the reaction instead of fluorine? Is it something to do with electronegativity ? Or is it something to do with withdrawing group??  How do we know if a gourp is more withdrawing ??????

What would the final product be in the reaction sequence?
