QuestionWhat is the product of cyclohexene with $\mathrm{Br}_{2}$? Identify the reaction type: substitution, addition, or elimination? Compare with phenol and $\mathrm{Br}_{2}$.

Studdy Solution
Now, let's compare this reaction with the reaction between phenol and $\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ from exercise9. Without the specifics of exercise9, we can say that phenol is an aromatic compound and it reacts with $\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ in a substitution reaction, specifically electrophilic aromatic substitution, rather than an addition reaction. This is because the aromatic ring in phenol is very stable and tends to undergo substitution reactions rather than addition reactions.
In conclusion, the reaction of cyclohexene with $\mathrm{Br}_{2}$ is an addition reaction, producing1,2-dibromocyclohexane. This is different from the reaction of phenol with $\mathrm{Br}_{2}$, which is a substitution reaction.
