Question

If possible, replace an H atom on the ? carbon of the molecule in the drawing area with a methyl group substituent, and replace an H atom on the ? carbon with a hydroxyl group substituent. If one of the substituents can't be added for any reason, just don't add it. If neither substituent can be added, check the box under the drawing area. neither substituent can be added.
