Chapter 8.4, Problem 8.22P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The sequence of arrow pushing pattern in the given ionic mechanism has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Mechanism of a reaction can be explained by use of the arrow-pushing pattern.  The arrows used in the mechanism are curved arrows.  The tail of the arrow is placed in a way that from where the migration starts and the head of the arrow is placed where the migration ends.

In ionic mechanisms there are only four arrow-pushing patterns.  They are,

  1. 1 Nucleophilic attack
  2. 2 Proton Transfer
  3. 3 Loss of leaving group
  4. 4 Rearrangement of carbocation

If two arrow-pushing pattern has occurred in a single step itself means then it is known as concerted process.
