what forms when ethylenecyclohexane reacts with HBr?

When ethylenecyclohexane reacts with HBr, the product formed is bromocyclohexane.

Did you know?

Did you know that when ethylenecyclohexane, a compound with a cyclohexane ring and a double bond, reacts with HBr (hydrobromic acid), a process called addition reaction occurs? In this reaction, the double bond in ethylenecyclohexane breaks, and a hydrogen atom from HBr attaches to one of the carbon atoms that was part of the double bond. Meanwhile, the bromine atom from HBr attaches to the other carbon atom previously involved in the double bond. As a result, the reaction forms a new compound called bromoethylcyclohexane, consisting of a cyclohexane ring with an ethyl group (from ethylenecyclohexane) and a bromine atom. These addition reactions are essential in organic chemistry for creating new compounds with specific properties and functionalities.
