Answer 1

Answer:

2-chloro-1-methyl-cyclohex-1,4-diene.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the addition of hydrochloric acid acts as an electrophilic atack in which the hydrogen bonded to the double-bonded carbon connected to the carbon with the methyl substitution is substituted by the chlorine from the hydrochloric acid, in such a way, 2-chloro-1-methyl-cyclohex-1,4-diene is produced as one equivalent of HCl is used therefore one substitution will be attained for chlorine, and hydrogen as a side product as shown on the attached picture.

Best regards.
