When cyclohexane is subjected to mercuration in methanol and the resulting mixture is reduced with sodium borohydride, the major organic product is→ methoxycyclohexane.
Option E is correct .
Methoxycyclohexane :
Methyl hexyl ether, also known as 1-methoxy-hexane or hexyl methyl ether, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkyl ethers. These are organic compounds containing the dialkyl ether functional group, with the formula ROR', where R and R' are alkyl groups. Methyl hexyl ether is considered to be a practically insoluble (in water) and relatively neutral molecule. Within the cell, methyl hexyl ether is primarily located in the membrane (predicted from log P). Methyl hexyl ether has a sweet, fruity, and herbal taste.
