Part 1 involved MeOH addition to form the keytetrahedral intermediate. Part 2 involves loss of H2O from thetetrahedral intermediate to form the ester. Part 2 of 2:Intermediate species (from Part 1):
For all remaining steps in themechanism: 1) Draw each species (organic and inorganic) resultingfrom the previous step. Each step will include all of, and only,the atoms given in the first step (i.e., do not use extra reagentmolecules/ions, and do not omit spectator ions).
(Depending on how you drew the mechanism, thedrawing area below might not be needed. Do not draw the finalproducts.)
By the way, the words under "click to edit"aredo not use extra reagentmolecules/ions, and do not omit spectator ions). Thanks!
