Question
**Exercise 11: Reaction Mechanisms**

Determine whether each reaction occurs by an Sn2, Sn1, E1, and/or E2 reaction. Provide a detailed mechanism with curved arrows and the major product(s).

1. **Reaction 1**
   - **Starting Material:** Cyclohexyl chloride
   - **Reagent:** NaSH
   - **Solvent:** DMF
   - **Mechanism:** Typically occurs via an Sn2 reaction due to the strong nucleophile (NaSH) and polar aprotic solvent (DMF). The product would involve the substitution of the chlorine with SH.

2. **Reaction 2**
   - **Starting Material:** Cyclohexyl methanesulfonate
   - **Reagent:** NaOH, H₂O, heat
   - **Mechanism:** Likely proceeds through an E2 mechanism. The product would be a cyclohexene due to elimination.

3. **Reaction 3**
   - **Starting Material:** 1-bromo-2-methylpentane
   - **Reagent:** LDA
   - **Solvent:** DMF
   - **Mechanism:** An E2 reaction is favored due to the strong base (LDA) and polar aprotic solvent (DMF). The product will involve dehydrohalogenation resulting in an alkene.

4. **Reaction 4**
   - **Starting Material:** Bromocyclopentane
   - **Reagent:** NaOH, H₂O, heat
   - **Mechanism:** Proceeds through an E2 mechanism forming cyclopentene due to elimination.

5. **Reaction 5**
   - **Starting Material:** 2-methyl-2-propanol
   - **Reagent:** HBr
   - **Mechanism:** Occurs via an Sn1 reaction. The product is a result of substitution where the hydroxyl group is replaced by bromine.

6. **Reaction 6**
   - **Starting Material:** Phenylethanol
   - **Reagent:** H⁺, H₂O, heat
   - **Mechanism:** Likely to proceed through an E1 mechanism resulting in the formation of an alkene as the major product due to dehydration.
