The following enol cannot be isolated. It rapidly tautomerize to produce ketone. Draw the expected ketone, and show a mechanism for its formation under acid-catalyzed conditions \( \left(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}\right) \). Part 1 \( \theta \) Incorrect. Draw the missing curved arrow(s) for step one of the mechanism (protonation). Add any missing lone pairs of electrons.
The intermediate formed in the previous step is resonance stabilized. Draw the missing curved arrow(s) to convert the first resonance structure into the second one. Add any missing lone pairs of electrons.
