Solution Summary

The solution discusses a method for preparing compounds formed from alkyl halides.

Solution Preview

For your first organic compound, I would run a SN2 reaction using CN- as the nucleophile attacking a halo-cyclohexane (a cyclohexane with one chlorine/bromine/iodine your choice)

For your second reaction, you will want to run a SN1 reaction with the same compound, but in place of the hydroxyl group (OH) put a halogen again (since they are good leaving ...
