Answer:
Major Product = 4-chloro-4-methylcyclohex-1-ene
Explanation:
Alkene are the class of organic compounds which contain one or more double bonds between two carbon atoms. Alkenes are considered most reactive among the unsaturated hydrocarbons and they undergo <em>addition reactions</em> due to high electron density around the double bonds.
In given question it is written that we are provided with one equivalent of HCl while, our compound contains two double bonds (diene) so in selected starting material the HCl will be added across (hydrohalogenation reaction) the substituted double bond because it will give a more stable carbocation (<u><em>tertiary carbocation</em></u>) during the reaction course. Hence, as shown in reaction scheme 4-chloro-4-methylcyclohex-1-ene will be the major product.
