Accepted Answer

Option 1: $\mathrm{S_N}2$, A = iso-butyl ethyl ether; $\mathrm{S_N}1$, B = tert-butyl ethyl ether

Answer

$\mathrm{S_N}2$, A = iso-butyl ethyl ether; $\mathrm{S_N}1$, B = tert-butyl ethyl ether

Answer

$\mathrm{S_N}1$, A = tert-butyl ethyl ether; $\mathrm{S_N}2$, B = iso-butyl ethyl ether

Answer

$\mathrm{S_N}1$, A = tert-butyl ethyl ether; $\mathrm{S_N}1$, B = 2-butyl ethyl ether

Answer

$\mathrm{S_N}2$, A= 2-butyl ethyl ether; $\mathrm{S_N}2$, B = iso-butyl ethyl ether
