Determine the product in the following reaction (ignoring possible stereoisomers).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The product in the reaction is II, as it is formed by the reaction between cyclohexene and bromine in the presence of water. This reaction is a typical example of electrophilic addition, where the pi bond of the alkene acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic bromine. The resulting intermediate is then protonated by water to give the final product. The other choices (I, III, and IV) are either not formed in this reaction or are not stable under the reaction conditions.
