The reaction of 4-methylcyclohexanone with CH3MgBr followed by neutralization gives two alcohols. These two alcohols are    A. enantiomers formed in equal amounts.    B. diastereomers.    C. constitutional isomers.    D. enantiomers formed in unequal amounts.
Aziridines are heterocycles that contain an N atom in a three-membered ring. Like epoxides, aziridines are strained and reactive because the 60° bond angles of the three-membered ring deviate greatly from the theoretical tetrahedral bond angle. One step in the synthesis of the drug oseltamivir (trade name Tamiu, Section 3.2) involves the conversion of amine X to diamine Y, a reaction that occurs by way of an intermediate aziridine. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the conversion of X to Y. Indicate the structure of the aziridine intermediate, and explain the trans stereochemistry of the two amines in Y.
