Identify which statement describes the mechanism of the following reaction: HO HBr The reaction proceeds via an SN2 mechanism, in which, in one concerted step, the nucleophile attacks while the leaving group leaves. The reaction proceeds via an Sx2 mechanism, in which the acid protonates the alcohol and, in one concerted step, the nucleophile attacks while the leaving group leaves. The reaction proceeds via an SN1 mechanism, in which the hydroxyl group leaves and a tertiary carbocation is formed, which is subsequently attacked by the nucleophile. The reaction proceeds via an SN1 mechanism, in which the acid protonates the alcohol, water leaves, and a tertiary carbocation is formed, which is subsequently attacked by the nucleophile.

Br Brz CH3 CH3 H3C CH2CI2 H3C Br Electrophilic addition of bromine, Br2; to alkenes yields a 1,2-dibromoalkane. The reaction proceeds through a cyclic intermediate known as a bromonium ion. The reaction occurs in an anhydrous solvent such as CH,Cl). In the second step of the reaction, bromide is the nucleophile and attacks at one of the carbons of the bromonium ion to yield the product. Due to steric clashes, the bromide ion always attacks the carbon from the opposite face of the bromonium ion so that a product with anti stereochemistry is formed.
