Step by step solution

Substitution nucleophilic reaction

By the substitution nucleophilic reaction, they follow the bimolecular reaction, which is a two steps process:

Removal of the leaving group
Formation of the carbocation
Addition of the nucleophile

Formation of compound a

By the SN₁ Reaction, the removal of the hydroxyl group occurs, followed by the formation of the cationic intermediate. the carbocation, and the addition of the nucleophile that is a chlorine halide. The formation of the desired product occurs as follows:

Formation of compound b

By the SN₁ Reaction, the removal of the hydroxyl group occurs, followed by the formation of the cationic intermediate, the carbocation, then the addition of the nucleophile that is a bromide ion halide. The formation of the desired product occurs as follows:

Formation of compound c

By the SN₁ reaction, the removal of the hydroxyl group occurs, followed by the formation of the cationic intermediate, the carbocation, and the addition of the nucleophile that is a Br ion. The formation of the desired product occurs as follows:
