Question

For each section, circle the mechanism from the two options given (E1 or E2) and draw the main organic product resulting from that mechanism. Indicate the stereochemistry and if two configurational isomers form, draw both. 

The image depicts a chemical reaction. The starting compound is a structure with a benzene ring attached to a two-carbon chain. The first carbon in the chain is chiral (indicated by the wedge and dash bonds) and is bonded to a methyl group (CH₃). The second carbon in the chain is bonded to an iodine atom (I) and another methyl group (CH₃). The reaction involves this compound reacting with water (H₂O), as indicated by the arrow pointing to the right. The arrow signifies the process of the chemical reaction where water acts as a reagent. This type of reaction might suggest a nucleophilic substitution, where the iodine atom could potentially be replaced by a hydroxyl group (OH) originating from the water molecule. The precise details of the reaction mechanism would depend on various factors, including the reaction conditions.
