What product(s) will be observed by the addition of one molar equivalent of Br₂ to ________________ 1,3-cyclohexadiene?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The addition of Br2 to 1,3-cyclohexadiene can lead to two different dibromocyclohexenes due to the symmetrical nature of the starting material. The bromine can add across the double bonds in two different ways, leading to the formation of both 3,4-dibromocyclohexene and 3,6-dibromocyclohexene.
