Missing arrow

Step four of the mechanism presented in this article is missing a curved arrow indicating heterolysis of the carbonyl. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hessammehr (talkcontribs) 19:24, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • you have to be more specific V8rik (talk) 21:04, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the reaction mechanism, second row, first transformation. The carbonyl will have 10 electrons after the transformation if you don't draw an arrow indicating the opening the C=O double bond (actually, the bond has been implicitly opened). S.
