Synthesis of hexane-3,4-diol from fran-3-hexene may be accomplished in two ways:
(i) `OsO_(4)` hydroxylation and
(ii) Epoxide formation by reaction of alkene with `PhCO_(3)H` followed by basic hydrolysis.
Which of the following statements about the products from these reactions is correct?
A. The two methods give the same product.
B. (i) gives chiral isomers , (ii) gives an achiral isomer.
C. (i) gives an achiral isomer, (ii) gives chiral isomers.
D. Two different isomers are formed, but both are chiral.
