Devise a synthesis of 1-methylcyclohexene oxide from methylcyclohexane. You may use any other required organic or inorganic reagents

Short Answer

Expert verified

In a radical reaction, one or two atoms are substituted by radicals (atoms with incomplete valence electrons) following a continuous step of the mechanism.

Step by step solution

01

Radical reactions

In a radical reaction, one or two atoms are substituted by radicals (atoms with incomplete valence electrons) following a continuous step of the mechanism.

02

Halogenations of alkanes

In halogenation of alkanes, a weaker C-H bond is broken, and a C-X bond is formed (X - Cl, Br, I).

03

Synthesis reaction

  1. Halogenation of methylcyclohexane forms a C-Br bond.
  2. The base eliminates HBr, and alkene is formed.
