Question

Propose a mechanism and predict the products for each reaction. For reactions where more then one product can form, draw all possible products and predict which would be the major product.

**Reaction Mechanism and Product Prediction**

**Task:**
Propose a mechanism and predict the product(s) for each reaction. For reactions where more than one product can form, draw all possible products and predict which would be the major product.

**Reaction:**

a) The reaction starts with the compound that contains a bromine (Br) substituted cyclohexane. It's shown reacting with NaCl under S<sub>N</sub>1 conditions.

**Mechanism Explanation:**

- **Step 1:** The bromine (Br) will leave, forming a carbocation intermediate on the cyclohexane ring.
- **Step 2:** Chloride ion (Cl<sup>-</sup>) from NaCl will attack the carbocation, forming various stereochemical products depending on the specific conditions.

**Product Prediction:**

Consider all possible stereochemical outcomes, and determine major and minor products based on stability and reaction conditions.
