**Determining Reaction Mechanisms: SN1, SN2, E1, or E2**This exercise involves determining the type of mechanism (SN1, SN2, E1, or E2) for the following reactions. Understanding these mechanisms is critical in predicting the outcome of nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions.### Reaction A:**Reaction Scheme:**- Starting Material: Cyclohexyl bromide (a cyclohexane ring with a bromine atom attached to one of its carbons)- Reagent: Tert-butoxide ((CH3)3CONa) in tert-butanol ((CH3)3COH)- Products: Cyclohexene (a cyclohexane ring with a double bond) and sodium bromide (NaBr)**Question A: Determine the mechanism for Reaction A.**- Option 1: SN2- Option 2: E2- Option 3: SN1- Option 4: E1### Reaction B:**Reaction Scheme:**- Starting Material: Cyclohexyl bromide- Reagent: Sodium methoxide (CH3ONa) in Tetrahydrofuran (THF)- Products: Methoxycyclohexane (a cyclohexane ring with an O–CH3 group attached) and sodium bromide (NaBr)**Question B: Determine the mechanism for Reaction B.**- Option 1: E1- Option 2: E2- Option 3: SN2- Option 4: SN1### Explanation of Mechanisms:1. **SN2 (Bimolecular Nucleophilic Substitution):** - Involves a one-step mechanism where the nucleophile attacks the electrophilic carbon simultaneously as the leaving group departs. - Favored by strong nucleophiles and polar aprotic solvents.2. **SN1 (Unimolecular Nucleophilic Substitution):** ### Question 3 of 4#### B.![image: chemical reaction diagram]- A cyclohexane ring with a bromine substituent (indicated as "Br").- Arrow pointing to the right, indicating a reaction.- Reaction conditions: \( \text{CH}_3\text{ONa} \) and THF are indicated above the arrow.- Reaction products are a cyclohexane ring with a methoxy group substituent (indicated as \( \text{OCH}_3 \)) and \( \text{NaBr} \).**B. The mechanism of Reaction B is:**- ( ) E1- ( ) E2- ( ) \( S_N2 \)- ( ) \( S_N1 \)#### C.![image: chemical reaction diagram]- A cyclohexane ring with a hydroxyl group substituent (indicated as "OH").- Arrow pointing to the right, indicating a reaction.- Reaction conditions: \( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \) and \( \text{CH}_3\text{OH} \) are indicated above the arrow.- Reaction products are a cyclohexane ring with a methoxy group substituent (indicated as \( \text{OCH}_3 \)) and \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \).**C. The mechanism of Reaction C is:**- ( ) \( S_N2 \)- ( ) \( S_N1 \)- ( ) E1- ( ) E2
