Let's go step by step for each part of the given problem:
---
## **1. Draw product(s) and mechanisms**
### **a.**
**Reagents:** HCl
**Reaction:** Electrophilic addition of HCl to an alkene (Markovnikov addition).
**Starting compound:** 3-methyl-1-butene
#### **Mechanism:**
1. The double bond attacks the H of HCl, forming a carbocation at the more substituted carbon (Markovnikov).
2. Cl⁻ attacks the carbocation.
#### **Product:**
2-chloro-3-methylbutane
**Structure:**
```
CH3
|
CH2—C—CH2—CH3
|
Cl
```
---
### **b.**
**Reagents:** H₂O, H₂SO₄
**Reaction:** Acid-catalyzed hydration of alkene (Markovnikov addition of water).
#### **Mechanism:**
1. Protonate the alkene to form the more stable carbocation.
2. Water attacks the carbocation.
3. Deprotonate to form the alcohol.
#### **Product:**
2-methyl-2-butanol
**Structure:**
```
CH3
|
CH3—C—CH2—CH3
|
OH
```
---
### **c.**
**Reagents:**
1) BH₃
2) H₂O₂, HO⁻
**Reaction:** Hydroboration-oxidation (anti-Markovnikov addition of water).
#### **Mechanism:**
1. BH₃ adds to the less substituted carbon of the double bond.
2. Oxidation replaces B with OH.
#### **Product:**
1-butanol
**Structure:**
```
CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2OH
```
---
### **d.**
**Reagents:** Br₂, H₂O
**Reaction:** Halohydrin formation.
#### **Mechanism:**
1. Alkene attacks Br₂, forming a bromonium ion.
2. H₂O attacks the more substituted carbon.
3. Deprotonation leads to halohydrin.
#### **Product:**
Trans-2-bromo-1-phenylethanol
**Structure:**
```
OH
|
Ph—CH—CH2—Br
```
(OH on more substituted carbon, Br on less substituted)
---
### **e.**
**Reagents:**
1) 9-BBN
2) H₂O₂, HO⁻
**Reaction:** Hydroboration-oxidation (for a cyclohexene ring).
#### **Product:**
Cyclohexanol (OH on less substituted carbon of the double bond)
---
### **f.**
**Reagents:** Br₂
**Reaction:** Anti addition of Br₂ to alkene.
#### **Product:**
Trans-1,2-dibromo-2-methylbutane
**Structure:**
```
Br Br
\ /
CH3—C—C—CH3
|
CH3
```

## **2. Draw a stepwise mechanism for three alcohols from the bicyclic alkene**
**Reagents:** H₂O, H₂SO₄
**Mechanism:**
1. Protonation of the double bond forms a carbocation.
2. Water attacks the carbocation.
3. Deprotonation yields the alcohol.
4. Rearrangements can occur, leading to different alcohols.
**You need to draw the mechanism for each alcohol formed, showing protonation, possible rearrangement, water attack, and deprotonation.**

### **Summary Table**
| Part | Product | Key Mechanism Step(s) |
|------|------------------------------------|-------------------------------|
| a | 2-chloro-3-methylbutane | Markovnikov, carbocation |
| b | 2-methyl-2-butanol | Markovnikov, hydration |
| c | 1-butanol | anti-Markovnikov, hydroboration|
| d | trans-2-bromo-1-phenylethanol | bromonium, water attack |
| e | cyclohexanol | hydroboration-oxidation |
| f | trans-1,2-dibromo-2-methylbutane | anti addition of Br₂ |
