Question

Draw the products obtained when 3,3,6-trimethylcyclohexene is treated with nbs and irradiated with uv light.

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

First to all, you need to know what is the function of NBS.

N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) is a brominating and oxidizing agent that is used as source for bromine in radical reactions (for example: allylic brominations) and various electrophilic additions.

In this case, when it's present the light or heat, this agent acts as electrophylic addition, so, instead of going to the double bond, it's going to do an allylic bromination, so the possible products are the following: (See picture)
