Question
For each of these compounds, draw an alkyl halide that can be used to produce it in an Sₙ1 reaction. Then, determine whether the alkyl halide would need to be treated with water or methanol.

### Desired Product

**(a)**  
- Structural representation: A six-membered ring with one hydroxyl group (OH) attached.

**(b)**  
- Structural representation: A three-carbon chain with an OCH₃ group (methoxy group) attached to the second carbon.

**Table:**

- **Starting Alkyl Halide:** Draw the appropriate starting alkyl halide based on the desired product.
- **Solvent Used to Treat Alkyl Halide (H₂O or CH₃OH):** Determine whether the alkyl halide needs to be treated with water or methanol to achieve the desired product.
