EXERCISE: Writing Reaction Mechanisms - Electrophilic Addition to Alkenes Electron pairs: CH3 C = CH2 CH3 Curved arrows for regiospecific electrophilic attack: The double bond has two hit boxes. When you draw your curved arrow, use the hit box nearest the carbon to which the new bond is formed. Write a mechanism for the reaction below: CH3 CH3 C = CH2 H-Cl: CH2 CH3 CH3 Recheck Next (2 of 8)

Draw a stepwise mechanism for the following reaction. This reaction combines two processes together: the opening of an epoxide ring with a nucleophile and the addition of an electrophile to a carbon-carbon double bond. (Hint: Begin the mechanism by protonating the epoxide ring.)
