Decide the mechanism by which the following alkyl halides will be converted to alcohols by the substitution of the nucleophile, OH”. R-X + OH → R-OH + X- SN2 SN1 3-chloro-3-ethylpentane bromocyclopentane more information needed 2-bromo-2-methylbutane SN2 1-chloro-3-methylbutane Draw the structure. Identify the order of the C bonded to the halogen. 3º carbons will proceed via the Sn1 mechanism, since they form very stable intermediate carbocations. The size of the subtituents will prevent the attack of the nucleophile to the rear of the molecule. 1° carbons will proceed via the Sn2 mechanism, since they form unstable carbocations. They also a relatively
