Question

For the reaction below:

a

Draw the structure of the major organic product.
The image depicts a chemical reaction involving a cyclohexane ring with an epoxide group. The structure on the left is an epoxyalcohol: a cyclohexane with an epoxide ring where one of the carbons is attached to a hydroxyl (OH) group. The stereochemistry is shown with a wedge (solid triangle) for the hydrogen atom and a dashed wedge for the methyl group (CH₃), indicating their spatial arrangement on the ring. The arrow pointing to the right indicates a chemical reaction occurring in the presence of H₃O⁺ (hydronium ion). This suggests an acidic environment, which typically facilitates the opening of the epoxide ring in organic chemistry. This reaction is relevant in the study of organic synthesis and can be used to introduce new functional groups into a molecular structure. Understanding the stereochemistry and reaction conditions is crucial for predicting the product of this reaction.
