a.
The reaction of an alkene with OsO
4
is a syn addition reaction. Syn addition to the trans isomer forms
the threo pair of enantiomers. (See Section 6.13, particularly page 268.)

b.
Syn addition to the cis isomer forms the erythro pair of enantiomers. In this case, the product is a meso
compound because each asymmetric center is bonded to the same four substituents. Therefore, only
one stereoisomer is formed.
