Draw curved arrows to show the flow of electrons responsible for the conversion of the following reactants into products.

What is the product of the addition of I-Cl to 1-butene? (Hint: Chlorine is more electronegative than iodine [Table 1.3].)

When Br2adds to a cis alkene that has different substituents attached to each of the two sp2carbons, such as cis-2-heptene, identical amounts of the two threo enantiomers are obtained even though Br-is more likely to attack the less sterically hindered carbon of the bromonium ion. Explain why identical amounts of the two enantiomers are obtained.
Propose a mechanism for the following reaction:
