Predict the major product of the following reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with dilute HCl in H2O?
1 answer:
Answer:
1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane
Explanation:
The hydrocarbons with one double bond are called alkenes and are named with the suffix "ene". The alkenes, such as 1-methylcyclohexene, react better in an addition reaction. The double bond will be broken, and the substitutes will be placed at them.
In the reaction with HCl, H and Cl will be added to the carbons of the broken bond. The major product is formed when H is put at the carbon less substituted. Thus, the product will be the one given below, 1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane.

Correct Answer: CH2CCI2 and CH2CH2.
Reason:
Structure of compound depends on the hybridization of central atom. In both of the above molecules (i.e. CH2CCL2 and CH2CH2). Central atom i.e. carbon is sp^2 hybridized. Thus 3 hybridized orbitals of 'C' is involved in sigma bonding. Further, these orbitals are placed spatially at an angle of
. The un-hybridized 2pz orbital of 'C' is involved in pi-bonding. Due to this, both of the above molecules possess a triangular planner geometry.
