  1. Hi James,

    I need to write the mechanism for the conversion of iodocyclohexane to dibromocyclohexane.
    I think I need to first write an E1 reaction to convert from iodocylcohexane to cyclohexene. Then, use Br2 in chloroform to convert from cyclohexene to dibromocyclohexane.
    Is that correct?
