Question

The correct statement for the following addition reaction is

• A. (M and O) and (N and P) are two pairs of diasteriomers
• B. Bromination proceeds through cis-addition in both reaction
• C. O and P are identical molecules
• D. (M and O) and (N and P) are two pairs of enantiomers

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The given reactions are electrophilic addition reactions on the alkenes with the help of the non classical carbocation. Addition of bromine is anti addition.
Here (M and O) and (N and P) are two pairs of diastereomers.
