Select all valid reasons why the following reaction doesn't occur: OH d. Br + H₂O O a. The π system of the aromatic ring deprotonates HBr instead of the hydroxyl group due to being a stronger Bronsted base. Ob. It is impossible to protonate the alcohol functional group with acid to activate it as a leaving group c. A back-side SN2 approach of the bromide nucleophile is severely inhibited due to the cyclic aromatic system. The carbocation that would be formed during an SN1 process would be very unstable.
