Answer

The mixture of products formed is,

Step by step solution

01

Addition of HCl to cyclohexene

The addition of HCl to cyclohexene yields a mixture of products, in which H and Cl are added to a cis or trans alkene.A carbocation intermediate is formed, then attacked by a chloride ion.

02

The mixture of products formed and its stereochemistry

The addition of HCl (hydrogen halide) to cyclohexene involves the formation of a halonium ion intermediate. A chloride ion attacks this carbocation either from the top or bottom. This reaction yields a mixture of products in which the two methyl groups can be either cis or trans to each other.
