Which reactions have specific stereochemistry requirements? (All reactions that lead preferentially to a specific stereoisomer because of different energies of transition states. - GS).   How do we tell if any of them should be cis or trans? (Write the mechanism and compare energies of alternative transition states or, if appropriate, use Hammond’s postulate and look into the corresponding intermediates. - GS).
