1. Solvolysis of tert-butoxybenzene a. Draw a curved arrow mechanism for the following reaction. H2SO4 H2O (solvent) mechanism: OH tor OH b. Was the reaction above an SN1 or SN2 reaction? Draw the opposite substitution mechanism and annotate it to explain why it is NOT the correct mechanism. Substitution mechanism that is NOT reasonable (and why?)
