Question
![**Question 1:**
**Which of the following is not expected to be an intermediate of the following reaction?**
The reaction is given as:
\[
\text{Cyclohexyl iodide} \xrightarrow{\text{H}_2\text{O}} \text{Cyclohexanol}
\]
Options for intermediates:
- (a) Cyclohexyl cation
- (b) Cyclohexyl cation with a secondary carbocation indicated by a positive charge at the secondary carbon
- (c) Cyclohexanol with a water molecule and a positive charge on the oxygen, indicating a protonated form
- (d) Cyclohexyl cation with a positive charge indicated elsewhere
**Explanation of Diagrams:**
- The initial reactant shows cyclohexane with an iodide group attached. The reaction involves water as a reagent to convert this into cyclohexanol.
- Four possible intermediates are shown as cyclohexane rings with positive charges on different atoms, indicating carbocations or protonated species.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F63ea4c3a-f10c-41d0-b110-99e34512ca2f%2F71ba5921-df9f-4f17-9d27-8c0cb6202062%2Fv8vu71e_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
