Concept introduction:
In an electrostatic potential map, the red color indicates greater electron density. If the substituted benzene ring has greater red region, the ring is said to be electron rich. Thus the group attached to the ring must be electron donating and thus the activated group. If the substituted benzene ring is more blue or green, then the ring is said to be electron poor. Thus, the group attached to the ring must be electron withdrawing and thus the deactivated group.

The electrostatic potential maps of benzene and pyrrole
are shown here. Is the electrostatic potential map of
pyrrole consistent with the ring being activated or
deactivated relative to benzene? Explain.
Identify the electrophile and the nucleophile in each of the following reaction steps. Then draw curved arrows to illustrate the bond-making and bond-breaking processes.
Please provide a complete, detailed curved-arrow mechanism for the following reaction. Include ALL lone pairs and formal charges. Using the mechanism and a few words, explain why the NaOH deprotonates at the a-position and not the b-position or the aldehyde hydrogen. Also, explain why the indicated alkene is formed in the 2nd second rather than the other possible alkene product.
