Dihydroxylation of an alkene can be carried out with H2O2 in HCO2H. In this reaction, trans-but-2-ene affords (2R,3S)- butane-2,3-diol, whereas cis-but-2-ene affords a mixture of (2R,3R)-butane-2,3-diol and (2S,3S)-butane-2,3-diol. Does dihydroxylation by this method occur with syn or anti addition?

1)Chemistry students are taking an experimental course in organic chemistry at a public university. During an experiment involving conjugated dienes, some doubts arose when discussing the results obtained so far: (a) A student obtained two products from the reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with Br2. His lab partner was surprised to get only one product from the reaction of 1,3 - cyclohexadiene with HBr. Explain these distinct results. (b) One student, seeing the discussion of colleagues, commented that she obtained two distinct products when reacting 1,3,5-hexatriene with HBr, with different yields just by changing the reaction temperature. Explain the results she obtained using reaction mechanism and based on kinetic and thermodynamic control involving conjugated dienes.
