1.
Complete the following equations (assuming that the reactions occur via a bromonium ion). There
is no need to write the mechanism. If the reaction produces a pair of enantiomers, draw both
structures and assign the stereochemistry (R or S). If the reaction produces a meso compound,
you should assign its stereochemistry (R or S), but do not show its enantiomer, since it does not
represent a new compound. Clearly label any meso compounds.
Note that CH2CI2 is the solvent, not a reactant.
