Propose a mechanism and predict the products for the solvolysis of 2-bromo-2,3,3-trimethylbutane in methanol. draw all missing reactants and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the canvas and connecting them with bonds. add charges where needed. electron flow arrows should start on the electron(s) of an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created.

Answer : The mechanism and the products for the solvolysis of 2-bromo-2,3,3-trimethylbutane in methanol is attached in the image with the charges and proper bond breaking and making process being shown; also the moiety 2-bromo-2,3,3-trimethylbutane undergoes SN1 meachanisn and can go rearrangement with E1 mechanism which can change the product from methoxymethane to alkene.

SN1 products gives methoxy methane at different position of the moiety producing two different products resulting in major and minor quantity.
