Interpretation:
The electron-poor H atom in methanol is to be identified, and the mechanism by which methanol acts as an acid in a proton transfer reaction with
Concept introduction:
An electron poor atom or a molecule is an atom or a site in a molecule that has fewer electrons than the number required for stability. In a proton transfer reaction, a proton is transferred from a Bronsted-Lowry acid (proton donor) to a Bronsted–Lowry base (proton acceptor). In an elementary step, electrons tend to flow from an electron-rich site to an electron-poor site. The curved arrow notation shows the movement of valence electrons.
