First real org chem reaction lab help
« on: November 07, 2010, 12:47:42 PM »
We are going to do a Markonikov electrophilic reaction with 1-methylcyclohexene and NBS, H2O to form bromomethylcyclohexanols. I am pretty clueless as to what should be in my pre-lab. Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you
