Question 6. The following three reactions WILL NOT WORK as written (either no chemical reaction will take place OR the product drawn will not be generated). In each case identify the flaw in the reaction and then provide a solution (hint: the fix will usually involve replacing one reactant or reagent with another that will produce the desired product). NOTE: you may change EITHER the reactant(s) OR the reagent(s), but NOT BOTH. (10 points each for A, B, and C) A
