compound 3,4-dimethyl-hexan-3-ol of 3R, 4S configuration is treated with a concentrated HBr solution at room temperature. A mixture of two stereoisomers is obtained. If the reaction mixture above is heated, the appearance of several other compounds is observed. 1) Draw the different compounds obtained using the wedge-flywheel representation. 2) What is the majority product? Explain 3) Propose a modification of the experimental conditions in order to obtain the exclusive formation of these compounds obtained after heating
