Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For the first part of the question, we have to check the <u>chiral carbons</u> in 4-methyl-1,2-cyclohexanediol. In this case carbons, <u>1 and 2 are chiral</u>, if we have 2 chiral carbons we will have 4 isomers. We have to remember that formula 2^n in which "n" is the number of chiral carbons, so:

<u>2^n = 2^2 = 4 isomers</u>

<u>And the isomers that we can have are:</u>

1) (1R,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

2) (1S,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

3) (1S,2S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

4) (1S,2R)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol

See figure 1

For the second part of the question, we have to remember that the oxidation with OsO_4 is a <u>syn addition</u>. In other words, the "OHs" are added in the <u>same plane</u>. In this case, we have the methyl group with a wedge bond, so the "OH" groups will have a dashed bond due to the <u>steric hindrance</u>. Due to this we only can have <u>1 isomer</u> ((1S,2R,4S)-4-methylcyclohexane-1,2-diol). Finally, on this molecule, <u>we dont have any symmetry planes</u> (this characteristic will cancel out the optical activity), so <u>the product of this reaction has optical activity</u>.

See figure 2

I hope it helps!

Al    is  the  reducing  agent.That    is  answer  B  is  the  above  answer
  Al  acts  as  a  strong  reducing  agent.  It  reduces  crO3  to  form cr  while  Al  is  oxidized  to  Al2O3.    Al is  capable  to  reduce  cr  since  Al  is  higher  in   reactivity  series  than  cr.
