confused!
2. (20 pts) The acid catalyzed dehydration of cyclopentylmethanol gives three alkene products as shown below. Draw a complete mechanism to explain the formation of these three products, using arrows to indicate the flow of electrons. Be sure to show all intermediates and clearly indicate any charges. Do not draw transition states (dotted bonds).
