Stereospecificity of Addition Reactions

The following questions concern reactions of cis-3-hexene.

For each case, draw a structural formula for the expected product. Indicate the configuration of the major stereoisomer by using the wedge/hatched bond tool. To draw a formula use the drawing window opened by the Draw Formulas button. Do not draw hydrogen atoms. When you are finished, Submit your formula and then check it by pressing the Check Product button under each question.
