Question
do 8.15!

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 8.15:**
Draw the complete, detailed mechanism for each of the following reactions, assuming they proceed via E1 mechanisms. Pay attention to stereochemistry.
**Reaction (a):**
- Reactants: A chlorinated alkane with a phenyl group and water (H₂O).
- Process: An arrow indicates a reaction, producing an unspecified product.
**Reaction (b):**
- Reactants: Another chlorinated alkane with a phenyl group and water (H₂O).
- Process: An arrow indicates a reaction, producing an unspecified product.
Both reactions request the detailed mechanistic steps following the E1 (unimolecular elimination) mechanism, which involves the formation of a carbocation intermediate, followed by deprotonation to form a double bond. Stereochemistry should also be considered in the mechanism.
