Question

Product "x" major will be

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Answer 1

The correct option is C

The explanation for the correct option:

Option (C):

1. When cyclohexene and bromine interact, $1,2-$dibromocyclohexane is created.
2. The process serves as the reaction of electrophilic addition. One bromine atom attaches to both carbon atoms during the initial phase of the process, with the bromine atom carrying the positive charge. An ion of bromine is created.
3. A bromide ion then attacks the bromonium ion from behind due to a hindrance that the same side's bromine ion has produced.
4. When ethanol is used to treat substituted cyclohexane, It then undergoes, nucleophilic substitution in presence of $\mathrm{EtOH}$ as${\mathrm{EtO}}^{-}$ acts as a nucleophile since it is a base.
5. A nucleophile attacking a carbon atom with a partial positive charge is known as a nucleophilic substitution process. The nucleophile exchanges one atom that has a partial negative charge with another one.
6. ${\mathrm{EtO}}^{-}$replace bromine attached at meta position by the ${\mathrm{SN}}_1$ reaction.
7. An ${\mathrm{SN}}_1$ nucleophilic substitution process happens in two stages. The link between the carbon atom and the leaving group breaks in the first step, resulting in a carbocation and, most frequently, an anionic leaving group.
8. The second stage includes the carbocation and nucleophile reaction to produce the substitution product.
9. Hence, it is the correct option.

Therefore, x major will be
