Question
Predicts the major products for the following reaction.
This image features a chemical reaction scheme commonly found in organic chemistry. On the left side, the reactant is depicted as a molecule with a cyclopentene core and two additional double bonds extending from the ring. The structure is identified as (a). On the right side, the reaction conditions are shown: "Br₂ (excess)," indicating that the reactant will undergo a reaction with an excess amount of bromine (Br₂). The arrow signifies the direction of the reaction, suggesting that the molecule will likely undergo bromination. In such a reaction, bromine atoms are typically added across the double bonds. This image illustrates a typical addition reaction where multiple sites of unsaturation (double bonds) may react with the bromine. The use of excess Br₂ ensures that all reactive double bonds may undergo complete bromination.
