Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the first step toward the major product in the bromination of 2,6-dichloropyridine with Br+ (step 1). If you predicted the correct regiochemistry in the first step, then the nitrogen in the ring should not be postively charged in any major resonance contributors of the intermediate. From the step 1 product, draw a single curved arrow leading to the step 2 resonance contributor. Draw all atoms, electrons, and charges, if necessary, on all structures; draw all curved arrows on all structures except the last one. Do not draw any inorganic byproducts or counterions. The structures should all have a neutral nitrogen in the ring.

Answer: Electron Movement

Explanation: Curved arrows show the movement (flow) of electrons during bond-breaking and/or bond-making processes. The foot of the arrow indicates where the electron or electron pair originates, and the head of the arrow shows where the electron or electron pair ends up.
