Answer:
(3R,4R)-4-bromohexan-3-ol
Explanation:
In this case, we have reaction called <u>halohydrin formation</u>. This is a <u>markovnikov reaction</u> with <u>anti configuration</u>. Therefore the halogen in this case "Br" and the "OH" must have <u>different configurations</u>. Additionally, in this molecule both carbons have the <u>same substitution</u>, so the "OH" can go in any carbon.
Finally, in the product we will have <u>chiral carbons</u>, so we have to find the absolute configuration for each carbon. On carbon 3 we will have an "R" configuration on carbon 4 we will have also an "R" configuration. (See figure 1)
I hope it helps!
