4. Mechanisms: (28 pts). Show the detailed reaction mechanism for each of the following reactions. Include the structure of the expected products and all relevant resonance structures. Hâ‚‚SO4, heat HO OH a) This is a reaction b) This kind of reaction follows a mechanism. c) This reaction works in acid only / base only / acid or base / no catalyst. d) The product is a more / less / equally reactive carboxylic acid derivative compared to the starting material. e) This reaction is driven by entropy / enthalpy/excess reagent. f) What is the pKa of the starting material? What is the pKa of the first intermediate? What is the pKa of the product?
