Reaction of this bicycloalkene with bromine in carbon tetrachloride gives a trans dibro-
mide. In both (a) and (b), the bromine atoms are trans to each other. However, only one
of these products is formed.

Which trans dibromide is formed? How do you account for the fact that it is formed to the
exclusion of the other trans dibromide?
When 2-iodo-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane is heated in acetic acid, CH3COOH, a mixture of
substitution and elimination products is obtained. Provide structures for all possible
products, writing [not drawing] the name of the mechanism by which each one is
formed.
Upon heating a racemic mixture of d,1-3,4-dimethyl-1,5-hexadiene, three
products are possible, and all three are observed. The ratios are 90, 9, and nearly
1 percent. Predict which percentages correspond to which products and explain
the ratio by showing the chair and boat conformations that lead to the products.
