Specifying Hotspot End Position InstructionsMake the ends of your curved arrows specify the destination of the reorganizing electron(s) as exactly aspossible. Keep in mind that not all hotspots are interchangeable; for example, an arrow starting/ending at theinterior of an atom (represented by an atomic symbol) is not the same as an arrow starting/ending at a lone pair.correctincorrectHCI:correctHH₂C C+incorrectHCH3H₂C-C+CH3CH3CH3-H*-H*H*H*H₂C=CH₂C=C:ci:CH3CH3CH3CH3 H3CNAH3CCH3CH3ستCH₂Primary alcohols can be dehydrated in an acid-catalyzed reaction.

Alcohols react with sulfonyl chlorides to form sulfonate esters. Only the O-H bond of the alcohol is broken in the reaction, and so no inversion of configuration occurs. The resulting sulfonate esters are reactive in SN1 and SN2 reactions since the sulfonate group is a very weak base and is therefore a good leaving group.Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

All rearrangements we have discussed so far have involved generation of an electron-deficient carbon followed by a 1,2-shift of an atom or a group of atoms from an adjacent atom to the electron-deficient carbon. Rearrangements by a 1,2-shift can also occur following the generation of an electron-deficient oxygen.
