Alkene Reactions: II
Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structure of the major organic product for the reaction shown below:

   

The addition of HOBr (formed from NBS in aqueous DMSO) to an alkene proceeds through an intermediate bromonium ion and results in the formation of a halohydrin with the hydroxide bonded to the alkene carbon which would form the most stable carbocation (Markovnikov addition). Since a bromonium ion intermediate is involved, the overall stereochemistry is trans.
Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structure of the major organic product for the reaction shown below:

   

 

The addition of H+/H2O to an alkene proceeds through a carbocation intermediate and results in the formation of an alcohol with the hydroxyl group bonded to the alkene carbon which would form the most stable carbocation (Markovnikov addition). Rearrangements are commonly observed.

Using the drawing pallet on the right, draw the structure of the major organic product for the reaction shown below:

   

 

Oxymercuration of an alkene results in the formation of an alcohol with the hydroxyl group bonded to the alkene carbon which would form the most stable carbocation (Markovnikov addition). The work-up with BH4- is necessary to reduce the organomercurial intermediate. Rearrangements do not occur.

Oxymercuration of an alkene results in the formation of an alcohol with the hydroxyl group bonded to the alkene carbon which would form the most stable carbocation (Markovnikov addition). The work-up with BH4- is necessary to reduce the organomercurial intermediate. Rearrangements do not occur. In this problem, either of the alkene carbons could react with hydroxide anion to give the alcohol, but 2-methylcyclopentanol should be the favored product since this places the organomercurial furthest away from the bulky methyl group.

That is correct!
Sorry, that is not correct. You should modify your structures and try again. If cis-trans- stereochemistry is required, please make sure you have drawn the appropriate isomer using the "wedge bonds".
Note: Stereochemistry is shown using the "wedge" bond.
Click on the solid wedge to reverse orientation.
You have to enable Java and JavaScritpt on your machine !
