Answer:
Explanation:
Vinylcyclohexane is an example of a cyclic hydrocarbon where the vinyl group (-CH=CH₂ ) attaches itself to an end of a cyclohexane in ring form thereby giving rise to a vinylcyclohexane. The vinyl group are ethylene with a reduction in one hydrogen atom given them the name vinyl.
SOo, when vinylcyclohexane is treated with NBS ( i.e N-Bromosuccinimide a chemical reagent used in organic reactions) ; the bromine in the NBS reacts with the cyclohexane thereby giving rise to a allyl radical first. The allyl radical is resonance stabilized radical with an unpaired electron on the allylic carbon . As a result of stabilization ; a more stable substituted cycloalkene is formed as an intermediate .
This stable substituted cycloalkene intermediate then finally react with a bromine ion to give a major product known as ; (2-bromo ethylidene)cyclohexane.
