Question

Consider the reaction of 1-methylcyclohexene with Br2 in CH3OH:

Draw a curved arrow mechanism for Step 1 of this reaction, showing the formation of the intermediate(s), including stereochemistry. Show all intermediate structures for this step.

1. Draw the curved arrow mechanism for step 1 in this reaction.

2. Draw the structure(s) of the intermediate(s) formed in step 1 of this reaction.

The image illustrates a chemical reaction involving a benzene ring and bromination with methanol as the solvent. 

On the left side of the image, there is a cyclohexene molecule, which is a six-carbon ring containing one double bond.

An arrow points to the right, indicating the direction of the reaction. Above the arrow, the reagents are listed: bromine (\( \text{Br}_2 \)) and methanol (\( \text{CH}_3\text{OH} \)).

This setup typically signifies a bromination reaction where bromine adds across the double bond in the presence of methanol, potentially forming a bromohydrin. Further details of the reaction products would depend on specific conditions and were not depicted in the image.
