Draw the major product(s) of the following reaction. The image depicts a chemical reaction. On the left side is a chemical structure: a six-membered carbon ring (cyclohexane) with a single double bond connecting to a carbon chain ending with a methyl group (CH₃), which indicates a type of alkene. An arrow points to the right, indicating the direction of the reaction. Above the arrow is HCl, showing that hydrochloric acid is the reagent used in the reaction. This setup suggests that the reaction involves an alkene undergoing an addition reaction with hydrochloric acid, likely forming a haloalkane as the product.

Answered: CH3 HCI

Question

Draw the major product(s) of the following reaction.

The image depicts a chemical reaction.

On the left side is a chemical structure: a six-membered carbon ring (cyclohexane) with a single double bond connecting to a carbon chain ending with a methyl group (CH₃), which indicates a type of alkene.

An arrow points to the right, indicating the direction of the reaction. Above the arrow is HCl, showing that hydrochloric acid is the reagent used in the reaction.

This setup suggests that the reaction involves an alkene undergoing an addition reaction with hydrochloric acid, likely forming a haloalkane as the product.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Protonation of Double Bond

A double bond is protonated by an acid to produce the most stable carbocation as the major intermediate. The most stable carbocation is identified by the most number of hyperconjugative atoms present in it.
