An unsaturated product results from the reaction of cyclohexene with which of these?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction of cyclohexene with NBS/CCl4 in the presence of a radical initiator (ROOR) will result in the addition of a bromine atom to the double bond of cyclohexene, forming the unsaturated product 1-bromocyclohexane. Option A involves a free radical halogenation of cyclohexene, but this would result in the formation of a saturated product. Options C and D both involve addition of HCl to cyclohexene, which would result in the formation of a saturated product as well. Therefore, option B is the best choice for the formation of an unsaturated product.
