8. Elimination Reactions

Given a secondary alkyl bromide reacting with a strong base such as $O_{2}H-$ (ethoxide ion) in ethanol, which mechanism is most likely to occur: $SN1$, $SN2$, $E1$, or $E2$?

Silver-assisted solvolysis of bromomethylcyclopentane in methanol gives a complex product mixture of the following five compounds. Propose mechanisms to account for these products.
