Hydroxy aldehydes A and B readily cyclize to form hemiacetals. Draw the stereoisomers formed in this reaction from both A and B. Explain why this process gives an optically inactive product mixture from A and an optically active product mixture from B.
When the optically active compound shown below reacts with HCl, two major products are formed: one optically active, and the other optically inactive. Draw each product. Which product is major?
Which products are major and minor? What is the chirality of each product?
