### Chemical Reactions

#### Reaction a)

- **Reactant**: The structure is a cyclohexene ring with a single methyl group attached. This is a six-membered ring with one double bond.
  
- **Product**: The resulting structure is a cyclohexane ring, where the double bond has been removed. There is a new methoxy group (OCH₃) attached to a carbon in the ring. The bond with the methoxy group is shown as a wedge, indicating stereochemistry—this implies that the methoxy group is oriented above the plane of the ring.

#### Reaction b)

- **Reactant**: The compound shown is a stilbene, consisting of a carbon-carbon double bond with each carbon attached to a phenyl group (indicated as "Ph").

- **Product**: The structure is an epoxide, where the double bond has been converted into a three-membered cyclic ether. The epoxide ring includes an oxygen atom and bonds with two phenyl groups. The bonds within the epoxide are depicted with wedges, denoting stereochemistry and indicating that the atoms are oriented out of the plane.

These transformations depict typical organic reactions involving the formation of new functional groups and stereochemistry considerations.
