Synthesis of hexane-3,4-diol from trans -3-hexene may be accomplished in two ways: (i) OsO 4 hydroxylation & (ii) C 6 H 5 CO 3 H epoxidation followed by NaOH opening of the epoxide ring. Which of the following statements about the products from these reactions is correct? A) the two methods giive the same product B) (i) gives a chiral isomer, (ii) gives an achiral isomer C) (i) gives an achiral isomer, (ii) gives a chiral isomer D) two different isomers are formed, but both are chiral
