Question

Add two curved arrow(s) to draw step 5 of the mechanism: collapse of a charged tetrahedral intermediate. Modify the given drawing of the product as needed to show the intermediate that is formed in this step. Use the +/- tools to add/remove charges, and use the single bond tool to interconvert between double and single bonds.
