Chapter 3, Problem 3.5P
Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Interpretation Introduction

(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.

Interpretation Introduction

(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.
