Search on the web for a mechanism for the Swern oxidation reaction. There are multiple variations. Make sure that you choose one that fits the reaction you are performing. 2. Write out the generic mechanism by hand that you found on the computer. Write out the Lewis structures of all involved species, showing all lone pairs of electrons, bonds, and bonds as required. Show all curved arrows and the intermediate(s) and by-products of each elementary step. Note that some lone pairs of electrons, reagents, and arrows may be missing in the generic scheme you find onlinedo your best to figure out how to complete the scheme. Correctly cite your source(s). 3. Apply the generic schemes you found online to your specific organic substrate. Write the complete mechanism for the oxidation of your intermediate compound to 6 by the Swern oxidation reaction. 4. What is meant by the statement in the Scheme Key: 2.2 equiv of (COCl)2 ? Be specific. 5. Identify the nucleophile and electrophile in each step of your mechanism. 6. What is the role of the dimethyl sulfoxide in this reaction? 7. What is the role of the NEt3 in this reaction? 8. What is the role of the CH2Cl2 in this reaction?** ________________________________________________ and here is the text ____________________________________________________________________________ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw_KnSETKiBVMGJZMm9qRkJqX1k/view?usp=sharing
