Draw all six steps involved in the reaction below. Your mechanism must begin with the structure shown as the reactant and end with the product. In your mechanism you will include all lone pairs of electrons, all formal charges, and all the curved arrows to show electron redistribution. All structures shown on the reactant side of the equation will be carried through each step of the mechanism. Each step must be one of the 4 basic mechanistic steps discussed in lecture.
