Problem: starting with bromocyclohexane, how can each of the following compounds be prepared?

Propose a mechanism for the following reaction:

A ketone undergoes acid-catalyzed bromination, acid-catalyzed chlorination, racemization, and acid-catalyzed deuterium exchange at the -carbon. All of these reactions have similar rate constants. What does this tell you about the mechanisms of these reactions?
How many stereoisomers are obtained from each of the synthesis described in Problem 14?
The 1 H NMR chemical shifts of nitromethane, dinitromethane, and trinitromethane are at d 6.10, d 4.33, and d 7.52. Match each chemical shift with the compound. Explain how chemical shift correlates with pKa.
