### Mechanistic Steps in Organic Reactions: HBr Addition to Alcohol**Objective:**Provide the correct order for the mechanistic steps for the following reaction:**Reaction:**\[ \text{CH}_3\text{CH(OH)-CH}_3 + \text{HBr} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CH(Br)-CH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]This reaction results in a racemic mixture where an alcohol group (-OH) is converted into a bromide (-Br) through the addition of hydrobromic acid (HBr).**Steps to Determine:**1. **Step 1: [Choose]**2. **Step 2: [Choose]**3. **Step 3: [Choose]**4. **Step 4: [Choose]****Options:**- **Carbocation formation**- **Nucleophilic attack**- **Leaving group leaves**- **Proton transfer**---**Detailed Explanation of the Steps Involved:**1. **Proton Transfer:** The reaction begins with the proton transfer where the hydroxyl group of the alcohol is protonated by HBr, resulting in the formation of a good leaving group (water).2. **Leaving Group Leaves:** After protonation, the water molecule, now a good leaving group, leaves, leading to the formation of a carbocation intermediate.3. **Carbocation Formation:** The departure of water leads to the formation of a carbocation intermediate. This step is crucial as it dictates the subsequent steps of the mechanism.4. **Nucleophilic Attack:** Finally, the bromide ion (Br-) from hydrobromic acid attacks the positively charged carbocation, resulting in the formation of the final product, a racemic mixture of bromide-substituted compound.**Interactive Section:**Please select the correct order of the mechanistic steps from the dropdowns provided.- **Step 1:** - [Choose: Proton transfer]- **Step 2:** - [Choose: Leaving group leaves]- **Step 3:** - [Choose: Carbocation formation]- **Step 4:** - [Choose: Nucleophilic attack]This section will help you solidify your understanding of the mechanistic steps involved in the reaction.
