Interpretation:
The alkyl bromide shown is 1-bromo-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane. The structures of three different
Concept introduction:
In electrophilic addition reactions, the first step is the attack of the π electrons of the double bond on the hydrogen of the hydrogen halide to yield a carbocation. One of the carbon in C = C gets attached to hydrogen while the other acquires a positive charge. In the second step, the carbocation produced reacts with a halide ion to give the

- Bicyclo-2,5-heptadiene can be prepared in two steps from cyclopentadiene and vinyl chloride. Provide a mechanism for each step.arrow_forwardProvide a step-by-step mechanism to account for the product of the following reaction. Show the structure of each of the intermediates and use curved arrows to indicate electron flow in each of these stepsarrow_forwardOn treatment with HBr, vinylcyclohexane undergoes addition and rearrangement to yield 1-bromo-l-ethylcyclohexane. Using curved arrows, propose a mechanism to account for this result.arrow_forward
