Question

Identify all of the electrophilic centers in (r)-(−)-carvone below. select all that apply.

Answer 1

)-(−)-Carvone is responsible for the characteristic
minty odor and flavor of spearmint oil, and it can also serve as a
useful chiral starting material for organic synthesis. A
carbon-carbon π bond is normally nucleophilic, but one of the two
carbon-carbon π bonds in (R)-(−)-carvone is actually
electrophilic!



Draw resonance structures of (R)-(−)-carvone.
Do not draw resonance and curved arrows in your answer. Include
formal charges and lone pais in yo
