If the 2021 specific set you're looking at has mixed reviews, these are the "Gold Standards" usually recommended by the community: Carey & Sundberg (Part A & B) advanced organic chemistry practice problems 2021

• Fundamental (review of named reactions and basic mechanisms)
• Intermediate (unexpected rearrangements, subtle electronic effects)
• Advanced (total synthesis fragments, contested mechanisms from recent literature)
• Challenge (open-ended problems with multiple valid solutions)

The reaction proceeds through an SN1 mechanism, involving the formation of a carbocation intermediate. Fundamental (review of named reactions and basic mechanisms)
