c)

Short answer

c) The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,

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.

Step 2:

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

In the presence of NaCN, ethanol, water and the organic and inorganic solvents, cyclohexyl bromide is transformed into cyclohexyl cyanide, in which bromine atoms are substituted through SN₂ mechanism.

Step 3:

The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,
