Question
**Question 16:** What is the product of the following reaction? **Reaction:** The given reaction involves two steps: 1. The starting compound is a benzaldehyde derivative with a ketone group (C=O) attached to a phenyl group. It is treated with cyclohexyl lithium (cyclohexane ring attached to lithium). 2. The intermediate product is then treated with hydronium ion (\( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \)). **Options:** The possible products are designated as A, B, C, and D, each representing different structural isomers formed from the reaction. - **A):** The phenyl group is attached to a secondary alcohol group, with the cyclohexane ring adjacent to the ketone origin. - **B):** The structure shows the phenyl group attached to a primary alcohol group, with the cyclohexane ring at the end of the new chain. - **C):** Similar to A, the structure contains a secondary alcohol with phenyl adjacent to the ketone origin but differs in orientation. - **D):** The structure results in a secondary alcohol, with the phenyl group positioned between cyclohexane and the hydroxyl group. These structures represent different stereochemical outcomes of the reaction. The correct answer should be determined based on the mechanism of organolithium addition to the carbonyl group and subsequent reaction with water.
