Provide the reagents for the short synthesis (2 steps).
The image depicts a chemical reaction involving the conversion of an alcohol. On the left, cyclohexanol is shown, where a hydroxyl group (OH) is attached to a cyclohexane ring. The hydroxyl group is in the axial position on the cyclohexane ring. The arrow indicates the process of transformation leading to the product on the right, in which the hydroxyl group is now in the equatorial position. This change implies a rearrangement possibly due to a mechanism that favors the more stable equatorial position in the chair conformation of cyclohexane, reducing steric strain. This transformation is relevant in organic chemistry studies discussing conformational isomerism and the energy differences between axial and equatorial positions.
