Missing arrow

edit

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

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.
