As halides are good leaving groups when an alcohol reacts with an alkyl halide the halide leaves the group and an acid is also formed as a byproduct
The E1 reaction also forms some products
C4H9Cl + ROH → C4H9COR + HCl
C4H9Cl + R-OH → C4H8 + RCl + HOH
The case for HCN
C4H9Cl + HCN → C4H9CN + HCl
Therefore only one product is common
I would say simply no because there feature are lot different
