Question

3) The starting materials, two intermediates, and the product of the three-step mechanism are show below. Add the curved electron arrows to explain the mechanism below Draw the energy diagram for the reaction to the right. This wl include the two intermediates and three transitions states of the correct relative energies. Consider the rate determining step and the stability of the intermediates to draw it accurately Itermediate stability follows the same rules E as good Lewis structures - more stable with octets, less formal charge, negative charge orn more electronegative atom.)
