Question: On catalytic hydrogenation over a rhodium catalyst, the compound shown gave a mixture containing cis-1-tert-butyl-4-methylcyclohexane (88%) and trans-1-tert-butyl-4-methylcyclohexane (12%). (a) What two products are formed

On catalytic hydrogenation over a rhodium catalyst, the compound shown gave a mixture containing cis-1-tert-butyl-4-methylcyclohexane (88%) and trans-1-tert-butyl-4-methylcyclohexane (12%).
(a) What two products are formed in the Epoxidation of 4-tert-butyl (methylene) cyclohexane?
Which one do you think will predominate?
(b) What two products are formed in the hydroboration–oxidation of 4-tert-butyl (methylene) cyclohexane? Which one do you think will predominate?
