What is the product of the reaction given below?

1. \(\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{CH}_2-\mathrm{OC}_2 \mathrm{H}_5\)
2. 
   
3. 
   
4. 
   

Solution

The reaction mentioned is \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. This reaction proceeds through two step reaction.
