**Question:**

What epoxide is needed to convert CH₃CH₂CH₂MgBr to the following alcohol, after quenching with water?

[Displayed Structure]

The structure is a six-carbon chain with an OH group attached to the second carbon, indicating a secondary alcohol.

**Interactive Element:**

[draw structure ...]

---

**Explanation:**

This exercise involves identifying the epoxide required to react with a Grignard reagent (CH₃CH₂CH₂MgBr) to form the specified alcohol. The OH group is shown on the second carbon of a hexane chain, suggesting that the epoxide must have a three-carbon backbone to fit the resulting alcohol structure.
