Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory agent because it inhibits the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins by the transfer of its acetyl group (CH3CO−) to an OH group at the active site of an enzyme. This reaction, called transesterification, results in the conversion of one ester to another by a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the given transesterification.
Bromobenzne + Mg/diethyl ether -> Biphenyl (byproduct)
Draw the mechanism for the byproduct
Draw the mechanism for the formation of diphenylacetylene
