Given the following structures, which of the statements below is incorrect? Br Br Br (1) (II) Molecule Il can react with some nucleophiles via an SN1 mechanism. Molecule I will react with nucleophiles via a two-step substitution mechanism. Reaction of III with water will produce an alcohol via an SN1 mechanism. When II undergoes a successful substitution reaction with CH3COONA (where CH3COO is a nucleophile) the product is an ester.
