What are the products of the following reactions?
a. 
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Identify the type of reaction taking place. Determine whether the reaction is substitution, addition, elimination, or another type based on the reactants and conditions provided.
Step 2: Analyze the reactants. Look at the functional groups, molecular structure, and any reagents or catalysts involved in the reaction.
Step 3: Predict the mechanism of the reaction. For example, if it is a substitution reaction, determine whether it follows an SN1 or SN2 mechanism based on the substrate and conditions.
Step 4: Write out the intermediate steps of the reaction, if applicable. For instance, if the reaction involves a carbocation intermediate, show how it forms and rearranges.
Step 5: Determine the final products by completing the reaction mechanism and considering factors like regioselectivity, stereoselectivity, and stability of the products.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Reaction Mechanisms
Understanding reaction mechanisms is crucial in organic chemistry as they describe the step-by-step process by which reactants transform into products. This includes identifying intermediates, transition states, and the types of bonds formed or broken during the reaction. Familiarity with mechanisms helps predict the products of reactions based on the nature of the reactants and conditions.

Functional Groups
Functional groups are specific groups of atoms within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules. Recognizing functional groups is essential for predicting the behavior of organic compounds in reactions, as they dictate reactivity, polarity, and the types of products formed. Common functional groups include alcohols, carboxylic acids, and amines.

Stoichiometry
Stoichiometry involves the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the conservation of mass. It allows chemists to determine the proportions of substances involved in reactions, which is vital for predicting yields and understanding the efficiency of reactions. Mastery of stoichiometry is essential for accurately determining the products and their quantities in organic reactions.
