Reaction of a Grignard reagent with an ester: b. Which reaction step(s) can be classified as "acyl substitution"? c. Classify the favorability of each step in the mechanism above. d. What do the "1." And "2." in the reaction scheme mean? (above and below the reaction arrow). Explain how your curved arrow mechanism is consistent with this. e. "

workup" is an abbreviation. What does it mean? reagent when it was added? (In other words, why is it necessary to have two sequential steps instead of combining everything at once?) a. Add curved arrows to the mechanism for the following reaction.
