1. In the empty boxes (a-l), draw the structure of the MAJOR product expected following each alkene
addition reaction shown. Be careful, two of the reactions below will undergo a carbocation
rearrangement. (2pts for each product shown having correct connectivity of atoms)
Also include the following for the applicable:
• Show the relative stereochemistry of the product clearly using appropriate dashes/wedges for
each reaction letter indicated with ** (1pt each case for correct stereochemistry shown)
• Underline the two reaction products considered to be meso (2pts)
• Circle the only two reactions below that are Anti-Markovnikov alkene additions. (2pts each)
• For reaction (j) draw the major product in the favored chair conformation. (1pt)
