The light-initiated reaction of 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) gives two products:

(a) Give a mechanism for this reaction, showing how the two products arise as a consequence of the resonance-stabilized intermediate.

(b) The bromination of cyclohexene using NBS gives only one major product. Explain why there is no second product from an allylic shift.
