Question

For the conversion of 1-methylcyclohexene to 3-methylcyclohexene, the most suitable sequence of reagents to perform this converison is:

• A. $HBr$ then $\left(C{H}_3{)}_{3}COK/\right(C{H}_3{)}_{3}COH$
• B. NBS then alcoholic $KOH$
• C. $HBr$-peroxide then $\left(C{H}_3{)}_{3}COK/\right(C{H}_3{)}_{3}COH$
• D. $HCl$-peroxide then $\left(C{H}_3{)}_{3}COK/\right(C{H}_3{)}_{3}COH$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $HBr$-peroxide then $\left(C{H}_3{)}_{3}COK/\right(C{H}_3{)}_{3}COH$


$HCl$-peroxide gives Markovnikov's product.
