Short answer

d) 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.

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 the second step, cyclohexyl bromide is converted to cyclohexanol (Refer:971371-6-46P-b)

In third step the zinc chloride used as a catalyst by which the cyclohexanol is attached with the alcoholic hydroxyl group and gives the nucleophilic substitution which is done by ammonia.

Step 3:

The amine base is combines with the acid HBr in the final step to produce bromide salt.

The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,
