Hydroxylation of cis-2-butene with OsO_y yields a different product than hydroxylation of trans-2-butene. Draw the structure, show the stereochemistry of each product, and explain the difference between them.
Treatment of cis-4-bromocyclohexanol with HO$^-$ affords compound $A$ and 3-cyclohexen-1-ol. Treatment of $trans$-4- bromocyclohexanol under the same conditions forms compound $B$ and 3-cyclohexen-1-ol. $A$ and $B$ contain different functional groups and are not isomers of each other. Propose structures for $A$ and $B$ and offer an explanation for their formation.
