Question

Cyclohexene is dissolved in a solution of lithium chloride in chloroform. To this solution is added one equivalent of bromine. The material isolated from this reaction contains primarily a mixture of trans $-1,2$ -dibromocyclohexane and trans- 1 -bromo-2-chlorocyclohexane. Propose a mechanism to show how these compounds are formed.
