Step-by-step solution

Concept

The bromination reaction is the process by which one or more bromine atoms are added to a chemical. Halogen reaction is also include bromination reactions.

Any chemical reaction is referred to as a substitution reaction if one functional group is replaced or substituted with different functional group.

Step 2:

In the 1^st step cyclohexane is converted to cyclohexyl bromide (Refer:971371-6-46P-a)

In this process of turning cyclohexyl bromide into Cyclohexanol, bromine atoms are substituted via SN₁ mechanism, and silver ions are employed as silver bromide by getting rid of the bromide anion. The presence of water causes the hydroxyl group to bind the ring.

Step 3:

The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,
