Problem 6-1: When the following compound is heated in methanol, several different products are formed. Propose mechanisms to account for the four products shown.

Finish Partially Solved Problem 6-1 by showing how the rearranged carbocations give the four products shown in the problem. Be careful when using curved arrows to show deprotonation and or nucleophilic attack by the solvent. The curved arrows always show movement of electrons, not movement of protons or other species.
