Question
**Image Transcription for an Educational Website**

**Problem Statement:**

Predict the starting alkyl chloride that would produce the product shown in the SN1 reaction. Assume no rearrangements. Stereochemistry is not considered.

**Feedback Section:**

- Status: Incorrect
- Attempts Remaining: 2

**Diagrams and Chemical Structures:**

1. **Reaction Scheme:**

   - The image shows a chemical reaction where an unspecified substrate undergoes a transformation.
   - The reactant is unspecified but leads to the following product.

2. **Chemical Structures:**

   - Product: Contains a benzene ring attached to an ethoxy group (–OCH2CH3) leading to a complex ether formation.
   - The product includes a phenyl group with an ethyl ether linkage.

**Diagram Explanation:**

A flow arrow is used to indicate the chemical transformation, where the starting material should yield the product using ethanol (\(CH_3CH_2OH\)) as a solvent or reagent under SN1 reaction conditions.

**Note:**
This exercise demonstrates understanding mechanism predictions in organic chemistry, specifically focusing on SN1 reactions where carbocation intermediates and nucleophilic substitutions are key.
