Question: Hydrogenation of alkene A with D2 in the presence of Pd-C affords a single product B. Keeping this result in mind, what compound is formed when A is treated with each reagent:
(a) mCPBA; (b) Br2 , H2O followed by base? Explain these results.

Question: Sharpless epoxidation of allylic alcohol X forms compound Y. Treatment of Y with NaOH and in an alcohol–water mixture forms Z. Identify the structure of Y and draw a mechanism for the conversion of Y to Z. Account for the stereochemistry of the stereogenic centers in Z. Z has been used as an intermediate in the synthesis of chiral carbohydrates.

Question: Draw the products formed when both cis- and trans-but-2-ene are treated with OsO4, followed by hydrolysis with NaHSO3+H2O. Explain how these reactions illustrate that syndihydroxylation is stereospecific.
Question: Devise a synthesis of each compound from as the only organic starting material; that is, every carbon in the product must come from a molecule of ethanol. You may use any other needed inorganic reagents.
Question: Draw the organic products formed when each alkene is treated with H2 / Pd-C. Indicate the three-dimensional structure of all stereoisomers formed.
