Considering this reaction, I have a handful of things I need to do with it.

 

I can handle most of them, but there are a few I'm having trouble with.

 

1. Write the balaneced equation for this.

2. Draw curved arrow mechanism

 

For balancing the equation, do I ignore the reactants on the arrow? Ie, would it just be the propanone + Cl and the chloropropanone (forgive my naming,,!!).

 

And for the curved arrow mechanism, I haven't the foggiest on how to get started. Obviously, I need to pull off that methyl group on the right, and put a Cl. Can I use the -OH to pull off the hydrogens?

 

I would appreciate any help in this, I am totally stuck!

This looks really familiar so ill try and get you an answer, I cant find the relevant notes at the moment but Ill try again when I get back from the pub.
