(a) Propose a mechanism for this reaction.
(b) Draw the structure of the rate-limiting transition state.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Solution 25P
Step 1
When cyclohexene is reacted with small amounts of bromine in the presence of light, it undergoes the free-radical substitution of bromine on the cyclohexene ring resulting in the formation of 3-Bromocyclohexene.
