Identify the electrophile and the nucleophile in each of the following reaction steps and then draw curved arrows to illustrate the bond-making and bondbreaking processes.
The two reactions that follow involve nucleophilic substitution at an acyl carbon. For each reaction, show the electrophile and the nucleophile in the key bond- forming step, the corresponding tetrahedral addition intermediate, and the leaving group in the bond-breaking step. Write a general mechanistic scheme (use curved arrows to show bond-making and bond-breaking processes) for these reactions, keeping in mind that acid- and base-catalyzed processes will differ in their timing of proton transfers. 00 || || PhCOCPh+ C₂H5OH 00 |||| PhCOCPh+ 2 CH3NH H₂SO4 cat.
