Consider the hydrobromination reaction shown below and answer the questions that follow. In this reaction, a “MAJOR PRODUCT” is formed, i.e. a product that is formed in preference to the other. Assuming that the major product is derived from the most stable possible carbocation intermediate, which of the following molecules (A-F) would be the MAJOR product? [major] A “MINOR PRODUCT” is also possible in this reaction, i.e. any possible product that is not the major product. Which of the following molecules (A-F) would be the MINOR product? [minor] Considering only the major product, how many stereoisomers are possible for this molecule? [stereomajor] Considering only the minor product, how many stereoisomers are possible for this molecule? [stereominor]

Turanose (shown below) is a sugar that is used as a carbon source for a variety of bacterial and fungal species. Answer the questions below about the structure of turanose. Which two (2) chair structures below represent the chair conformations of the six-membered ring of turanose? Enter your choices in alphabetical order: [chair1] and [chair2]. Which of the chair structures represents the enantiomer of the six-membered ring of turanose? [enant] What is the absolute configuration (R or S) of the chiral center indicated with an asterisk (*)?
