4) Mechanisms a) Draw a reasonable mechanism for the conversion of a ketone to a hemiacetal in the presence of a base catalyst, OH-. (Tips: OH- will attack the alcohol first) b) Draw resonance structure of the compound below. Then, state which position of the benzene ring should the electrophile (E+) be added. Explain. (c) Draw a reasonable mechanism for the reaction of acyl chloride with alcohol.
