Correct answer: B
The question statement is incomplete: it says “Bromination of cyclohexene under conditions given below yields:” but the actual conditions and the structures for options A, B, C, D are missing.
Because bromination of cyclohexene can give different products under different conditions, the answer cannot be derived uniquely from the text alone.
1. Why the conditions matter
Cyclohexene reacts with bromine differently depending on the reagent/medium:
-
- Electrophilic addition across the double bond
- Gives trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane (anti addition via bromonium ion)
-
- Forms a bromohydrin
- Gives trans-2-bromocyclohexanol
-
NBS / light or peroxide
- Allylic bromination
- Gives 3-bromocyclohexene
-
Excess bromine / radical conditions
- Other substitution/addition possibilities may arise
So without the missing conditions and the option structures, the product cannot be identified with certainty.
2. What is usually expected in such a standard JEE question
In many standard questions, “bromination of cyclohexene” under normal addition conditions means:
This occurs by:
- formation of a cyclic bromonium ion,
- followed by backside attack of ,
- resulting in anti addition.
Hence the product is trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane.
3. Comparison with stored answer
The stored correct answer is B, but since the option structures are not shown, I cannot directly verify whether B corresponds to trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexane.
So I cannot confidently confirm agreement from the provided data alone.
4. Conclusion
If the intended condition was the usual , then the product should be:
If option B represents this structure, then the stored answer is correct.
