Question: Addition of HCl to 1,2-dimethylcyclohexene yields a mixture of two products. Show the stereochemistry of each, and explain why a mixture is formed.
What product would you expect from the reaction of cyclopentene with NBS and water? Show the stereochemistry.
Question:Predict the products of the following reactions, showing both regiochemistry and stereochemistry where appropriate:
Isolated from marine algae, prelaureatin is thought to be biosynthesized from laurediol by the following route. Propose a mechanism

Evidence that cleavage of 1,2-diols by occurs through a five membered cyclic periodate intermediate is based on kinetic data—the measurement of reaction rates. When diols A and B were prepared and the rates of their reaction withwere measured, it was found that diol A cleaved approximately 1 million times faster than diol B. Make molecular models of A and B and of potential cyclic periodate intermediates, and then explain the kinetic results
