8. Predict the likely outcome of the bromination of cis-stilbene, drawn below. Draw Fischer projection formula(s) for the product(s). Label all chiral carbon atoms as“R”/”S”. What mechanistic rationale can account for the formation of this (these) product(s)? What can be done experimentally to ensure that all of the stilbene isused up in the reaction, i.e., it is the limiting reactant? How would you confirm that your predicted products were indeed obtained? (4 points)
