Answer

The product obtained is,

Step by step solution

01

Halogenation of alkene

In the halogenation of alkene, bromine and chlorine adds rapidly and give 1,2-dihalides.When halogenations occur in cycloalkene, only trans stereoisomers are formed by dihalide addition.

02

The product obtained from the addition of Cl2to 1, 2-dimethyl-cyclohexene

The addition ofCl2to a cycloalkene takes place by the electrophilic addition of Cl+to the alkene, forming a carbocation intermediate. On further reaction with Cl-, dichloride addition product is obtained. The chlorines are tans to one another like methyl groups.
