Question:

Compound A, C8H16, undergoes catalytic hydrogenation to give octane. When treated with meta- chloroperoxybenzoic acid, A gives an epoxide B, which, when treated with aqueous acid, gives a compound C, C8H18O2, which can be resolved into enantiomers. When A is treated with OsOfollowed by aqueous NaHSO3, an achiral compound D (a stereoisomer of C) forms. Identify all compounds, including stereochemistry where appropriate.
