**Chemical Transformation Exercise** **Task 2:** The following chemical transformations involve multistep mechanisms. Please write a reasonable mechanism for each transformation and label each elementary step. **Chemical Reaction:** - **Starting Material:** A molecule consisting of a six-membered carbon ring with a substituent bond leading to a bromine atom (Br). The carbon next to the ring is bonded to a two-carbon chain with a single substituent hydrogen (H). - **Reagent:** Water (H₂O). - **Product:** A similar six-membered carbon ring with the substituent now converted to an alcohol group (OH), replacing the bromine atom. **Diagram Explanation:** - The diagram shows a substitution reaction where the bromine atom (Br) in the starting material is replaced by a hydroxyl group (OH) to form the product. This transformation typically involves the attack of water on a carbocation intermediate, followed by deprotonation to yield the alcohol. The mechanism likely proceeds via an S_N1 pathway due to the formation of a tertiary carbocation.

Methanoic acid, HCOOH(aq) , is a monoprotic acid that can be synthesized by the reaction between CO and NH3 in the presence of hydronium ions. A proposed mechanism for the reaction consists of the three elementary steps shown below.Step 1: CH3 OH + CO → HCO2CH3 slowStep 2: HCO2CH3 + NH3 → HCONH2 + CH3 OH fast Step 3: HCONH2 + H3 O+ → HCOOH + NH4 + fast Overall reaction: CO + NH3 + H3 O+ → HCOOH + NH4 + ΔHrxn = −81 kJ/molrxn
