intermediates, resonance forms, and all steps including proton transfers. Make sure

your mechanism shows the acid and the base for the proton transfer steps.

B. (10 pts.) Write a mechanism for this irreversible reaction, showing all intermediates,

and using curly arrows to indicate electron pair motion.

(Note that R-Li behaves like R-MgBr, but R-Li is quicker to write.)
