Question

O: LO Product(s) TV // H20 O Predict the product(s) of this reaction by interpreting the flow of electrons as indicated by the curved arrows. You do not have to consider stereochemistry • You should include all products. • Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right comer. Visited parate multiple products using the + sign from the drop-down menu. c.

Answer 1

The products are given in the uploaded image.

The explanation about the products is also given. Please check.

+ coo + H₂O Cood the moves carbon out by atom. leaving Thus the sharing pair of electrons to co₂ leaves as neutral molecule. H₂8 moves out by taking the shared pair of electrons at The carbon atom generating a carbon positive charge at the atom. As to take share & electron pair it noves out as a neutral molecule. One of the two T-bonds in the ring shifts towards the carbocation to change the position of double bond and to nullify the positive charge. A positive charge again develops & at the previous location of the T-bond. However there is a negative charge on the adjacent carbon atom as the co was left without its election. These negative and positive charges make up another T-bond generating six membered ring with three alternative T-bonds
