g Elimination reaction simulation, Kim had tried to prepare cyclohexene from cyclohexanol using HCl as a catalyst, but he got a weird side product cyclohexyl chloride. Cyclohexyl chloride is formed possibly from the side reaction called A. SN1 substitution reaction B. E2 reaction C. E1 reaction D. SN2 substitution reaction

Answer:

SN1 substitution reaction

Explanation:

cyclohexanol is a secondary alkanol. The mechanism of acid catalysed dehydration of cyclohexanol involves the protonation of the -OH group.

This is followed by loss of water which is a good leaving group. At this stage, a proton could be abstracted to yield cyclohexene by E1 mechanism or an SN1 substitution reaction may occur to yield Cyclohexyl chloride.

The both reactions are equally likely.
