**Reaction Mechanism Identification**

In this exercise, you'll explore different reaction mechanisms involved in the synthesis or reactions of alcohols and ethers. Analyze the given reactions and determine the appropriate mechanisms from the list provided, using the corresponding letters.

---

**Reactions:**

1. **Reaction 1:**

   - **Reactants:** Phenylpropanoic acid (with a propene group) and Br₂
   - **Solvent:** Ethanol
   - **Product:** β-bromoethyl ethyl ether (with a phenyl group and a carbonyloxy group)

2. **Reaction 2:**

   - **Reactant:** Tertiary butyl carbocation and H₂O
   - **Product:** Tertiary butanol

---

**Mechanism List:**

- **a = Proton transfer**
- **b = Lewis acid/base**
- **c = Electrophilic addition**
- **d = E1 Elimination**
- **e = E2 Elimination**
- **f = S<sub>N</sub>1 Nucleophilic substitution**
