Complete the mechanism for the following reaction. Be sure to show arrows to indicate movement of
all electrons, write all lone pairs, all formal charges, and all the products for each step. Remember, I
said all the products for each step. IF A NEW CHIRAL CENTER IS CREATED IN AN
INTERMEDIATE OR PRODUCT, MARK IT WITH AN ASTERISK AS RACEMIC IF
RELEVANT. In the box provided adjacent to each arrow, write the kind of mechanistic element you
used ("make a bond", "add a proton" etc.).

Using any reagents turn the starting material into the indicated product. All carbon atoms must come from
the starting material. Draw all molecules synthesized along the way. When it doubt, draw the molecule!
Hint: this should look familiar as a homework problem.
All of the carbons of the produce must come from the given starting material.
