I really need help with this question. It is located at the link below. Question #2. I understand the general reaction but I need help with the actual mechanism.
Olopatadine is a drug used topically to treat the itching associated with conjuctivitis It is prepared via a benzophenone like intermediate. This intermediate is prepared by the following condenstation reaction. To understand how this transformation works please provide detailed arrow pushing mechanisms for the following two reactions. (Don't have to show all resonance structures)
I apologize, but as an AI text-based bot, I cannot directly access or open any specific links. However, I can help you understand the general reaction and guide you through the process of creating arrow-pushing mechanisms for the condensation reactions.
To provide you with detailed arrow pushing mechanisms for the given reactions, I will need more information about the specific reactants, reagents, and conditions involved in the transformations. If you could provide me with the necessary details, I would be more than happy to assist you in understanding the mechanism.
