Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the addition of HCN in water with NaOH to 3-methylcyclopentan-1-one to give the corresponding cyanohydrin in the fewest steps. Draw the arrows that lead to the resonance structures with full octets around each atom other than hydrogen. Draw all electrons and charges if necessary on all structures; do not show any inorganic side products or counterions. Reagents needed for each step are provided in the boxes.

Reaction mechanism consists of three steps which are depicted below.

Explanation:

mechanics (greek   is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
