## Educational Resource on Reaction Mechanisms### Reaction Schemes#### 1.The first reaction depicts a Grignard reaction:- A phenylmethyl alcohol reacts with methyl magnesium iodide in dry ether to produce a phenyl methyl ketone, magnesium iodide (MgI), and methane (CH₄).#### 2.The second reaction shows an acid-catalyzed etherification:- Cyclohexanol reacts in aqueous H₂SO₄ to form cyclohexene.### Mechanism Key- **a** = Proton transfer- **b** = Lewis acid/base- **c** = Electrophilic addition- **d** = E1 Elimination- **e** = E2 Elimination- **f** = SN1 Nucleophilic substitution- **g** = SN2 Nucleophilic substitution### InstructionsThe reactions above illustrate the synthesis or reactions of alcohols and ethers. Identify which reaction mechanism each transformation proceeds through using the letters **a - g**.**1.** [Write your answer here]**2.** [Write your answer here]
