c) The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,

Step by step solution

01

Concept

The bromination reaction is the process by which one or more bromine atoms are added to a chemical. Halogen reaction is also include bromination reactions.

02

Step 2:

In the 1st step cyclohexane is converted to cyclohexyl bromide (Refer:971371-6-46P-a)

In the presence of NaCN, ethanol, water and the organic and inorganic solvents, cyclohexyl bromide is transformed into cyclohexyl cyanide, in which bromine atoms are substituted through SN2 mechanism.

Step 3:

The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,
