Question

Reaction of unknown A with HCl forms chlorohydrin B as the major product. A shows no absorptions in its IR spectrum at 1700 cm−1 or 3600-3200 cm−1, and gives the following 1H NMR data: 1.4 (doublet, 3 H), 3.0 (quartet of doublets, 1 H), 3.5 (doublet, 1 H), 3.8 (singlet, 3 H), 6.9 (doublet, 2 H), and 7.2 (doublet, 2 H) ppm. (a) Propose a structure for A, including stereochemistry. (b) Explain why B is the major product in this reaction.
