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

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction of cyclohexene with NBS/CCl4, ROOR can result in the formation of an unsaturated product through bromination of the double bond. The ROOR serves as a radical initiator to generate bromine radicals from NBS, which can then react with cyclohexene to form a bromonium ion intermediate. Nucleophilic attack by bromide or water can then result in the formation of a dihaloalkane or halohydrin, respectively. Either of these intermediates can be dehydrohalogenated or dehydrated to form an unsaturated product. The other options either do not include a halogen or involve conditions that would likely result in over-reduction to a fully saturated product.
