Question

a) Give a full curved-arrow pushing mechanism, indicate the Lewis and Bronsted acids/bases for each intermoelcular step as appropriate, indicate the rate determining step. Give the number of sets of intermediates and the number of transition states included in your mechanism. HO: H20 HCI (catalytic) # of sets of intermediates # of transition states b) Draw a reaction energy diagram, do not draw the transition states for each step but indicate their positions on the diagram and also the positions of the intermediates, indicate the activation energy for the rate determining step on the diagram and also the reaction exothermicity
