Draw the chiral molecule product from your reaction and label at least one of its chiral centers (R/S). Draw the enantiomer of your chiral molecule. DO NOT CUT/PASTE FROM THE ARTICLE – DRAW IT IN PEN, PENCIL, OR CHEMDRAW AND paste the resulting scanned pdf, photo jpeg, or chemdraw file into the .doc or .docx file (Word) you are going to submit as your project.

Draw the FULL, ARROW-PUSHING MECHANISM for your reaction step of choice. This is not a general reaction, but a specific molecule that was synthesized (don’t use R to represent a portion of the molecule). DO NOT CUT/PASTE FROM THE ARTICLE – DRAW IT IN PEN, PENCIL, OR CHEMDRAW AND paste the resulting scanned pdf, photo jpeg, or chemdraw file into the .doc or .docx file you are going to submit as your project.

Using a minimum of 300 words and a maximum of 500 words include the following information into the Word .doc or .docx file you are going to submit as your project.:
verbalize the mechanism you chose to draw out in step 4 step-by-step. What is going on and why in each step of the mechanism? Who has the electrons? Where are they going? Why?
summarize the article and state the importance of the project briefly. What motivated the authors to do this work in the first place?
