Identify which statement describes the mechanism of the following reaction: HO HBr The reaction proceeds via an SN2 mechanism, in which, in one concerted step, the nucleophile attacks while the leaving group leaves. The reaction proceeds via an Sx2 mechanism, in which the acid protonates the alcohol and, in one concerted step, the nucleophile attacks while the leaving group leaves. The reaction proceeds via an SN1 mechanism, in which the hydroxyl group leaves and a tertiary carbocation is formed, which is subsequently attacked by the nucleophile. The reaction proceeds via an SN1 mechanism, in which the acid protonates the alcohol, water leaves, and a tertiary carbocation is formed, which is subsequently attacked by the nucleophile.
