Chapter 8, Problem 8.16P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{1}$ and E1 products of the given reaction are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: The first step is common in ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{1}$ and E1 reactions i.e. the heterolysis of carbon halogen bond to form carbocation. In ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{1}$ pathway, the next step is substitution while in E₁ pathway, the next step is elimination.
