Question
### Organic Chemistry: Alcohol to Alkyl Bromide Reaction **Problem 2 of 20** #### Task: Draw the product of the reaction shown below. #### Reaction Details: - **Reactant:** Cyclohexanol - Structural formula: A cyclohexane ring with an -OH group attached. - **Reagents:** - \( \text{PBr}_3 \) (Phosphorus tribromide) - Ether (as the solvent) #### Reaction Explanation: In this reaction, the hydroxyl group (-OH) on cyclohexanol is replaced by a bromine atom from phosphorus tribromide (\( \text{PBr}_3 \)), converting the alcohol into an alkyl bromide. This transformation is a common method for synthesizing alkyl halides from alcohols. #### Visualization: 1. **Initial Structure:** - Cyclohexanol with an -OH group at one carbon of the cyclohexane ring. 2. **Anticipated Product:** - Cyclohexyl bromide: The -OH group is replaced by a bromine atom. Provide your drawing of the expected chemical structure within the designated area. Consider using molecular editors or paper to sketch out the final structure. **Note:** This exercise will enhance your understanding of nucleophilic substitution reactions, a key part of organic chemistry.
