Subjection of 1-bromo-1-methylcyclopentane to the hydrolytic conditions shown leads to a mixture of products. Br -CH3 H₂O heat -CH3 OH -CH3 y =CH₂ + H₂O* + Br A B с a. Which alkene do you expect to be most abundant in the product mixture? b. Provide a stepwise mechanism to explain how the alkene labeled C is formed. c. The reaction above is shown with hydronium ion (pK₂~-1.7) and bromide as products rather than HBr (pKa ~-9). Use acid-base concepts to explain why HBr does not exist when there is an abundance of water.
