A proton transfer reaction can occur when an aldehyde is placed in strong base, such as an alkoxide ion, producing an alcohol and a charged conjugate base that is resonance stabilized. In the left box, draw the curved arrows for the proton transfer. In the middle and right boxes, draw the two structures resonance-stabilized product as noted in the box-specific directions. Be sure to include all lone pairs and nonzero formal charges. 8th attempt Sabion Seriodic Table (1) Draw the resonance structure with the charge on the carbon (no curved arrows).
