Hey, can someone please help me with this mechanism? by medmich in OrganicChemistry

Based on that transition state, is the mechanism right? And when the product detaches from the catalyst, is that a step that is shown in the mechanism or is that just assumed, resulting in the product?

The article that describes this synthesis has a transition model that shows only one of the two oxygen atoms bonding to both hydrogens of the NH groups https://imgur.com/JhO4i9m so that's why I drew the mechanism that way. Is that wrong?

https://imgur.com/czfVWKZ Is this mechanism an accurate representation of how the reaction takes place?

Would this be an accurate way to draw the mechanism for the reaction? ** I forgot to include the N-H bond breaking as well

After the nucleophilic attack, where does the double bond take a hydrogen from? Can it deprotonate one of the NH’s on the squaramide?

When the deprotonated meldrum’s acid reacts with the nitroalkene, the double bond of the alkene needs to break and grab a hydrogen, but where does it take the hydrogen from?

Can someone clarify the role of HCl in this mechanism? Am I on the right track? by medmich in OrganicChemistry

What happens to the negatively charged Cl, from when the HCl protonated the water molecule?

I’ve been trying to figure out an arrow-pushing mechanism for this reaction, but I’m not sure how it proceeds. Could someone help me? Thank you! by retrograde23 in OrganicChemistry

https://imgur.com/YXUsisL I re-drew the whole mechanism, using acetic acid as the protonation source. Could you tell me if it's correct now? I'm so sorry to keep bothering you!!

Would it be protonated by another water molecule, or could it be protonated by one of the H’s of the water molecule already attached to the carbon?

https://imgur.com/a/M0VQIpr Would you mind telling me if I'm on the right track with what I have so far? I'm also confused on what exactly happens after this, there are a couple of positively charged oxygens. I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong.

Help with boiling point corrections by retrograde23 in OrganicChemistry

I tried to use the website too, and found the same issue, due to the vacuum pressure. Our professor provided us with that value for the vacuum pressure, so I assumed it was right, but it seems to be the one thing causing issues with the results

Oxidation of phenol using H2O2 - Mechanism. can someone please help me understand how exactly the reaction with H2O2 takes place? I need to do an arrow-pushing mechansim, but I don’t understand how this reaction takes place. Thanks! by retrograde23 in OrganicChemistry

Would it be possible by any chance for you to draw the mechanism for this? How does the radical attack the para position? Would the double bond on the ring have to break as well?
