- Can you do d, e and f and explain it? State the mechanism in which through reaction proceeds sn2 or sn1arrow_forwardThe transformation below takes place by two distinct reactions. Intermediate A is formed in the first reaction and then this goes on to the product in the second reaction. Provide a complete curved-arrow mechanism for all steps of both reactions.arrow_forwarddraw the mechanism for the reaction, giving the major product B and briefly explain in one or two sentences ehy B is the major productarrow_forward
- Can you answer it and explain it? State the mechanism in which through reaction proceeds sn2 or sn1arrow_forwarddetermine which is the Hoffman elimination product from the two and provide the mechanism belowarrow_forwardThe question is: "Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the reaction between pentan-2-one and (CH3)3O– in t-butanol to form an enolate. Draw all electrons and charges on both resonance structures. Then answer the question about the reaction." I got the initial arrows correct, but am not entirely sure what the carbanion intermediate would look like and then what the curved arrows would be to convert it to its final oxanion formarrow_forward
- Complete the following reversible reaction and draw the mechanism of formation ofproducts. Indicate using the arrows of unequal length whether the shift in equilibrium will favor the reactants or the products. give 2 reasonsarrow_forwardIs this reaction going via Sn1, Sn2, E1 or E2 mechanism - explain?arrow_forwardDraw a detailed mechanism for the FeBr3@catalyzed reaction of ethylbenzene with bromine, and show why the sigma complex (and the transition state leading to it) is lower in energy for substitution at the ortho and para positions than it is for substitution at the meta position.arrow_forward
