Name the compound, assign (R) or (S) stereochemistry, and tell whether the reaction of the alcohol results in the same stereochemistry or a change in stereochemistry (reddish brown = Br). The addition of HBr to a double bond with an ether (−OR) substituent occurs regiospecifically to give a product in which the −Br and −OR are bonded to the same carbon.
