Expert Solution
Step 1

SOLUTION:

Step 1:

The reaction of primary alcohol with HX to form haloalkanes follow SN2 mechanism. primary alcohols will proceed via an SN2 mechanism since these have highly unfavorable carbocations. 3-methyl-1-pentanol reacts with HBr to form 1-bromo-3-methylpentane.

The incoming nucleophile attacks the carbon giving inverse configuration.
