b) Optical isomers can often be formed during these reactions. For products A-H
indicate how many different optical isomers you expect to form for each
from these reactions (you do not have to indicate whether they are diastereomers/enantiomers).
c) In the preparation of substance D by ozonolysis, the second step is necessary treatment of the reaction
mixture with zinc in acetic acid. If we forgot this step, we would get substance V instead of substance D, which
would probably explode when isolated. What is the structure of substance V?

Gamma(y)-amino butyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter (a chemical that is used to send signals from one neuron to another) of the
mammalian central nervous system. In order to understand how GABA works, conformationally restricted analogues, such as
compound 1, have been made. During a synthesis of compound 1, compound 2 was subjected to allylic bromination using NBS and a
radical initiator (AIBN) instead of light (Aust. J. Chem. 1981, 34, 2231-2236).
