What would be a proposed mechanism to get from cyclohexanol to cis-2-methoxycyclohexanol? I know how to get from cyclohexanol to trans-2-methoxycyclohexanol would be to go through acid-catalyzed dehydration via H2SO4, then epoxide ring formation via mCPBA and then alcohol-catalyzed opening, but don't know how to do for the cis version, if possible.
