Question

Shown below is three step mechanism of an alkene reaction. A. Re-draw (copy) the mechanism shown below, and add curved arrows to indicate the electron flow (bond making and bond breaking) for each step of the mechanism. B. For each INTERMOLECULAR STEP in the mechanism, clearly indicate the Lewis acid/base (LA/LB) and whether they are also Bronsted acids/bases (BA/BB). You can just add labels to the mechanism you re-drew for part A. C. For step 1 and 2 of the mechanism, draw the transition states. $H_2O$ $H_2SO_4$ (cat.)

Step 1

The alkene acts as a nucleophile, attacking a proton from the hydronium ion ($H_3O^+$). This forms a carbocation intermediate. $$ \begin{array}{c} \includegraphics[max width=0.3\textwidth]{step1_arrows.png} \end{array} $$ Step 2: Nucleophilic attack by Show more…
