a) Draw the mechanism, using good curved arrow notation, for the reaction of 2-methyl-2- butene with bromine in water, omitting any stereochemistry: b) (R)-3-butyn-2-ol is treated with 2 mol of HBr, yielding optically active Compound A (C4H8OBr2). Draw the structure of the reaction with the correct stereochemistry. c) Name Compound A above, including stereochemistry. d) Compound A is treated with HBr to yield Compound B (C4H7Br3). The resulting solution is optically inactive. Draw the product(s) obtained and explain why there is a loss in optical activity.
