Question
Bromomethylcycloheptane has been prepared in 92% yield by the reaction that it shows. Write a stepwise mechanism and use curved arrows to indicate the flow of electrons. The reaction was carried out in water, so use H3O + as the donor of protons in its mechanism. Is the determining step of the speed unimolecular (SN1) or bimolecular (SN2)?
