Textbook Question
Chapter 17.SE, Problem 67AP
Dehydration of trans-2-methylcyclopentanol with POCl3 in pyridine yields predominantly 3-methylcyclopentene. Is the stereochemistry of this dehydration syn or anti? Can you suggest a reason for formation of the observed product? (Make molecular models!)

why do (R)-3-chloro-1-methylcycloprop-1-ene and 5-Bromo-1,3-Cyclohexadiene react differently with cyanide (why doesn't cyanide pass through its usual mechanism for these two products and what did you obtain these specific products)
Predict the structure (stereochemistry) of the dibromide products of a synaddition of bromine to trans-cinnamic acid. Predict the structure (stereochemistry) of the dibromide products of an antiaddition of bromine to trans-cinnamic acid.Label each product as threo or erytho.It may be helpful to construct molecular models of threo-and erytho-2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanioc acid.

- we know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage.
