(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The major product and stereochemistry if applicable for the given reaction.

Interpretation: The major product and stereochemistry if applicable for the given reaction is to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The general steps for the formation of halohydrin are stated below:

• The first step is the attack of halide ion to form a halonium ion.
• The second step is the attack of water to open the halonium ion.
• The last step is deprotonation to give the halohydrin product.

Stereochemistry is defined as the arrangement of molecule in three dimensional space and its impact on chemical reactions.
