Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction is a classic example of substitution reaction where an alkyl halide reacts with a nucleophile to replace the halogen. In this case, the nucleophile is likely to be water, which will attack the carbon atom bonded to the bromine atom to form an intermediate alkyl oxonium ion. This intermediate will then undergo deprotonation by a base to form the alcohol product, which is I. There are no other products formed in this reaction as none of the other reactants are reactive enough to undergo substitution.
