L D A first strips the bromine away to form a double bond; which happens to be a terminal double bond due to L D A being a bulky reagent D i a z o m e t h a n e forms a c y c l o p r o p a n e group between the double bonded carbons and the carbon on d i a z o m e t h a n e . Finally, the substituted c y c l o p r o p a n e is opened by stripping a hydrogen from H B r ; note, cyclopropane does this because it exhibits alkene qualities. A 2 ∘ carbocation forms and rearrangment occurs to form a more favorable 3 ∘ carbocation. The B r − comes in to attack the carbocation. A n s w e r = A
