What are the major products for the following?

**Question 10 of 21**

**Predict the major product(s) for each of the following reactions:**

A pentagon-shaped organic molecule is shown with several arrows pointing to question marks, indicating the prediction of products for various chemical reactions. The reactions are:

1. **KMnO₄, NaOH, cold**: This reagent set typically indicates syn-dihydroxylation of alkenes, leading to the formation of a diol.

2. **HCl**: This represents a hydrochlorination reaction, where HCl adds across a double bond.

3. **1) Hg(OAc)₂, H₂O 2) NaBH₄**: This is an oxymercuration-demercuration reaction, used to hydrate alkenes to form alcohols without rearrangement.

4. **Br₂, H₂O**: This is a halohydrin formation reaction, where bromine and water add across a double bond to form a halohydrin.

5. **H₂, Pt**: This represents hydrogenation, where hydrogen gas in the presence of a platinum catalyst converts alkenes to alkanes.

**Modify the given carbon skeleton to draw the major product of the following reaction. If a racemic mixture of enantiomers is expected, draw both enantiomers. Note: you can select a structure and use Copy and Paste to save drawing time.**
