Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The predominant diastereomer generated from addition of HBr to 1- methylcyclohexene is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Diasteromers are the type of molecules in which more than one stereo centre is present. When the stereochemistry of at least one carbon is changed but the stereochemistry of all the other carbon remains same, then the structures obtained are known as diastereomers.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the reaction occurs with an anti-stereochemistry is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In a reaction, stereochemistry of the product depends upon the stability of the structure of the product. Free radical mechanism is the pathway in which odd electron species is generated as the reaction intermediate.
