Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with H₃O⁺ follows an anti-Markovnikov addition mechanism, meaning that the sulfur atom is added to the less substituted carbon atom of the double bond. This results in the formation of a primary sulfonium ion intermediate, which can undergo elimination to form the major product, 1-methylcyclohexanol. The other possible products are minor, resulting from further substitution reactions of the intermediate. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which corresponds to the major product, 1-methylcyclohexanol.
