Solved Problem 2 Convert 1-methylcyclohexanol to 1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane. Solution This synthesis requires the conversion of an alcohol to an alkyl bromide with the bromine atom at the neighboring carbon atom.This is the anti-Markovnikov product,which could be formed by the radical- catalyzed addition of HBr to 1-methylcyclohexene. CH R-0-0-R HBr heat Br 1-methylcyclohexene 1-bromo-2-methylcyclohexane 1-Methylcyclohexene is easily synthesized by the dehydration of 1-methylcyclohexanol.The most substituted alkene is the desired product.
