b. 1.
The first step in all the reactions is addition of an electrophilic proton
1
H
+
2
to the carbon of the
CH
2
group.
2.
A
tert
-butyl carbocation is formed as an intermediate in each of the reactions.
c. 1.
The nucleophile that adds to the
tert
-butyl carbocation is different in each reaction.
2.
In reactions #3 and #4, there is a third step—a proton is lost from the group that was the nucleo-
phile in the second step of the reaction.
