Question

5) Consider the following acid-base reaction:

(a) Provide structures for A and B (including non bonding electron pairs and formal charges where necessary), where A is the conjugate acid and B is the conjugate base of the reaction.Answer (b) Provide and arrow pushing mechanism to show how A and B are formed. (c) Will the reaction proceed from left to right (i.e. are A and B favoured at equilibrium)?Explain your answer. (d) Draw all important resonance contributors of the conjugate base B.Answer:
