Question

c) Draw a curly arrow mechanism that shows how the diol J transforms into the cyclic compound K in the presence of an acid catalyst (HA). Draw all the necessary curly arrows, structures of intermediates, formal charges, and relevant lone electron pairs. Pay attention to the technique of drawing curly arrows – use the rules learned in this course. Hint: number the carbon atoms. (5 p)
