Question
Current Attempt in Progress
Propose a plausible mechanism for the following transformation:
HO
19.55
H
[H3O+]
EtOH
Correct. Formation of a hemiacetal follows a common pattern for mechanisms of acid-catalyzed reactions: Protonate,
Attack, Deprotonate (P.A.D.).
The first three steps of the mechanism involve the formation of
The first step is protonation of the carbonyl oxygen atom V
The second step is nucleophilic attack
The third step is
deprotonation of a positively charged oxygen atom
a hemiacetal

Incorrect. Which of the four mechanistic steps is happening?
Add two curved arrow(s) to draw step 5 of the mechanism: collapse of a charged tetrahedral intermediate. Modify the given
drawing of the product as needed to show the intermediate that is formed in this step. Use the +/- tools to add/remove charges,
and use the single bond tool to interconvert between double and single bonds.
Hint

Edit Drawing
The next step is loss of a leaving group.
