Assume each atom follows the normal octet rule, except hydrogen (duet rule). Supply the lone pairs, formal charge and the curved arrows to show how the electrons move for each step of the reaction mechanism. Identify any obvious nucleophiles and electrophiles in each of the steps of the reactions below (on the left side of each reaction arrow). A separate answer file will be created, as I get to it. Let me know when you find errors.
