**Predicting Organic Reaction Products**

The task is to predict the major products of the following reactions and provide the structures of any intermediates. It is essential to include stereochemistry where appropriate. Additionally, for reactions (e) and (f), the mechanisms should be given in terms of electron flow, with a clear depiction of the electron movements.

**a) Reaction of an Alkene with a Peroxyacid**

- **Reagents:** PhCO₃H, NaHCO₃
- **Starting Material:** Simple alkene

**b) Hydrogenation of a Cycloalkene**

- **Reagents:** H₂, Pt
- **Starting Material:** Cycloalkene with a double bond

**c) Oxymercuration-Reduction of a Cycloalkene**

- **Reagents:** 
  1. Hg(OAc)₂, H₂O
  2. NaBH₄
- **Starting Material:** Cycloalkene with a double bond

**d) Hydroboration-Oxidation of a Cycloalkene**

- **Reagents:** 
  1. BH₃, THF
  2. H₂O₂, ⁻OH
- **Starting Material:** Cycloalkene with a double bond

**e) Radical Addition of HBr to an Alkene**

- **Reagents:** HBr, ROOR
- **Starting Material:** Linear alkene

**f) Halohydrin Formation from a Cycloalkene**

- **Reagents:** Cl₂, H₂O
- **Starting Material:** Cycloalkene with a double bond

For (e) and (f), depict the electron flow using arrows to indicate the movement of electrons throughout the reaction mechanism, revealing any intermediates formed during these processes.

This guide is designed to facilitate your understanding of these reactions, emphasizing the prediction of products and the illustration of mechanisms.
