Draw curved arrows to depict the formation of the keto form of an enolate ion via a strong base, represented by B. Complete the resonance structures of the enolate anion's keto and enolate forms with bonds, charges, and nonbonding electron pairs. Use curved arrows to show how the keto form resonates to the enolate form. Step 1: Add curved arrows to show the formation Step 2: Complete the resonance structure of the of the keto form. keto form, then add curved arrows. Step 3: Complete the resonance structure of the enolate form. Omit curved arrows.
