  4. •• OH O HNu •• R C C Nu R X X General Mechanism for Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution First stage of mechanism (formation of tetrahedralintermediate) is analogous to nucleophilic additionto C=O of aldehydes and ketones.

  5. •• OH •• O O HNu -HX •• •• R C C C Nu R X R Nu X General Mechanism for Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution Second stage is restoration of C=O by elimination. Complicating features of each stage involveacid-base chemistry.

  6. •• OH •• O O HNu -HX •• •• R C C C Nu R X R Nu X General Mechanism for Nucleophilic Acyl Substitution Acid-base chemistry in first stage is familiar in thatit has to do with acid/base catalysis of nucleophilic addition to C=O.
