Simmons–Smith reaction of cyclohexene with diiodomethane gives asingle cyclopropane product, but the analogous reaction of cyclohexene with 1,1-diiodoethane gives (in low yield) a mixture of two isomeric methylcyclopropane products. What are the two products, and how do they differ?
From what alkenes might the following alcohols have been prepared?
a)

Question:Predict the products of the following reactions, showing both regiochemistry and stereochemistry where appropriate:
(d)

Dichlorocarbene can be generated by heating sodium trichloroacetate.
Propose a mechanism for the reaction, and use curved arrows to indicate
the movement of electrons in each step. What relationship does
your mechanism bear to the base-induced elimination of HCl from
chloroform?

What products would you expect from oxymercuration-demercuration of the following alkenes?
a)

b)
