The reducing agent can approach the carbonyl face of camphor by forming a one carbon bridge (known as an exo attack) or a two carbon bridge (termed endo).
The two resultant stereoisomers are known as isoborneol and borneol (from exo attack) (from endo attack). Gas chromatography (GC) analysis may be used to calculate the ratio of each isomeric alcohol in the mixture. Unfortunately, IR analysis does not permit this.
The stereochemistry of the reaction is regulated in stiff cyclic compounds like camphor and norcamphor by protecting one side of the carbonyl group from the reagent's assault. The hydrogen atom is added to the endo side, creating the exo alcohol isoborneol, while the methyl groups on the one-carbon bridge of camphor screen the approach of the hydride from the "top" or exo side of the two-carbon bridge. You will be asked to guess the main isomeric alcohol created by the norcamphor hydride reduction later in the lab report.

Answer:
see explanation below
Explanation:
The question is incomplete. The missing parts are a) determine the electrophylic site. b) determine the nucleophylic site.
In order to do this, we need to write the reaction and do the mechanism. The nucleophylic site will be the site where the nucleophyle attacks to form the product. In this case the site is the carbon next to the bromine. In this place the Oxigen which is the nucleophyle goes. The electrophyle is the site where one atom substract to complete it's charges. In this case, the electrophyle is usually the hydrogen, so the site will be next to the oxygen after the nucleophyle attack.
