Hydrocarbons Bromine Test

1) Water reacts with bromine to form hypobromite, while cyclohexane only reacts under UV light through a substitution reaction. 2) Cyclohexene reacts with bromine under standard conditions through an addition reaction to form 1,2-dibromocyclohexane. 3) Toluene does not react with bromine under standard conditions but does react under UV light to form benzyl bromide.
