Question

This reaction is incorrect as written. In the box below draw the structure of the correct product.

**Understanding OsO4 Mediated Dihydroxylation Reaction**

**Reaction Scheme:**
The given reaction scheme is as follows:

1. Reagents: OsO4, NaHSO3
2. Starting Material: Cyclopentene
3. Incorrect Product: 
   - Shows a cyclopentane ring with two hydroxyl (OH) groups added to the same carbon (forming a geminal diol, which is unlikely).

**Correct Structural Product:**
- The correct product should be a diol where the two hydroxyl groups are added to adjacent carbons (vicinal diol) in a syn-addition manner due to the nature of the OsO4 catalyzed dihydroxylation reaction.

**Student Instructions:**
- Draw the structure of the correct product, which includes:
  - Using wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry.
  - Representing the correct syn-diol formation.
  - Indicating stereoisomers if the reaction leads to a racemic mixture.
  - Using the provided sketching tools to accurately draw the structure.
  - If more than one structure is involved, separate them with a '+' sign from the drop-down menu.

**Graphical Interface:**
- A graphical interface is provided for drawing chemical structures. It includes various tools such as:
  - Bond tools (single, double, triple, wedged, hashed, etc.)
  - Atom tools to add different elements to the structure.
  - Template structures like rings.
  - Functionality to copy, paste, and clear structures.

---

**Educational Goals:**
This exercise aims to help students learn:
- The correct product formation in osmium tetroxide (OsO4) mediated dihydroxylation reactions.
- Proper representation of stereochemistry in cyclic compounds.
- Utilizing chemical drawing tools for accurate depiction of molecular structures.

**Note:**
The reaction as given is incorrect and needs to be redrawn correctly in the provided box, focusing on the formation of syn-vicinal diol. 

Happy Learning!
