I have two problems for you. For both, when I put them into newman projections, I don't get the correct "zigzag" for Felkin model and I don't believe either can be synthesized via chelation control using different counter metal ions. Using methods from my notes I can only get the alcohols in the second problem all on wedges. If I use OsO4/NMO then that would give all alcohols in same plane for number 2. Please help!
