The osmium tetroxide reacts with alkene and forms a cyclic osmate ester. In the presence of an oxidizing agent, this ester forms a diol.
The stereochemistry of chiral center is predicted by assigning the absolute configuration to the molecule.
The absolute conjugation can be determined by assigning priority to the groups bonded to chirality center.
The priority order is decided by Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules. If the order of priority of groups bonded to chirality center preceding

The major product if R = CH₂CH3 is compound The major product if R = H is compound G Look at the given reaction and use the letter code corresponding to each compound in the blank to indicate the expected product(s), or fill in the blank with the appropriate vocabulary word or phrase. If a specific stereoisomer (e.g single enantiomer) is formed, select that isomer only. If a mixture of stereoisomers (e.g. racemic or diastereomers) is formed, select the single structure that shows the appropriate mixture (e.g. lines not dashes).
