A chemist requires a large amount of 3-bromo-3-methyl-1-cyclohexene as starting material for a synthesis and decides to carry out the following NBS allylic bromination reaction in the presence of UV light. Draw the structures of all of the observed products.

Explanation:

Bromination of allylic compounds occurs when hydrogen atoms from neighboring double bonds are replaced. As a result, there are four (4) potential bromination products, as seen in the figure below.

NBS, also known as N-Bromo succinimide, is employed as a replacement for Br2 in certain instances. The benefit of NBS is that it produces a reduced level concentration for Br2, which means that bromination of the double bond isn't competitive. As soon as Br2 has been produced, the reaction continues in the same way as the remaining free-radical halogenation reactions.
