Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The complete Lewis acid-base association reaction is to be stated using the curved-arrow notation.
Concept introduction:
Lewis acid-base association reaction involves the transfer of a proton from a base to an acid. Lewis acid accepts an electron pair. It acts as an electrophile. Lewis base donates an electron pair. It acts as a nucleophile.
(b)
Interpretation:
The curved-arrow notation for the reverse reaction is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Lewis acid-base association reaction involves the transfer of a proton from a base to an acid. Lewis acid accepts an electron pair. It acts as an electrophile. Lewis base donates an electron pair. It acts as nucleophile.
(c)
Interpretation:
The nucleophilic center, electrophilic center, and the leaving group in the both forward and reverse direction of the reaction in part (a) is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Lewis acid-base association reaction involves the transfer of a proton from a base to an acid. Lewis acid accepts an electron pair. It acts as an electrophile. Lewis base donates an electron pair. It acts as nucleophile.
