When a single alkene monomer, such as ethylene, is polymerized, the product is a homopolymer. If a mixture of two alkene monomers is polymerized, however, a copolymer often results. The following structure represents a segment of a copolymer called Saran. What two monomers were copolymerized to make Saran?

Question:Predict the products of the following reactions, showing both regiochemistry and stereochemistry where appropriate:
(d)

The following alkene undergoes hydroboration–oxidation to yield a single product rather than a mixture. Explain the result, and draw the product showing its stereochemistry.
Predict the products of the following reactions (the aromatic ring is
unreactive in all cases). Indicate regiochemistry when relevant.

Poly (vinyl pyrrolidone), prepared from N-vinylpyrrolidone, is used in cosmetics and as a synthetic substitute for blood. Draw a representative segment of the polymer.
