Question
Propose a sythesis for the compound below from the reagent list below.

Transcribed Image Text:This image depicts a chemical reaction.
### Reactants:
- The structure on the left is a cyclohexane ring with two hydroxyl (OH) groups attached. One OH group is attached to the first carbon atom, and the other to the second carbon atom in an equatorial position.
### Products:
- The structure on the right shows a cyclohexane ring with an additional heterocyclic ring attached, containing two oxygen atoms. This forms a dioxolane ring.
### Explanation:
- The reaction illustrates the transformation of a diol (a molecule with two hydroxyl groups) into a cyclic acetal. This is likely the result of an acid-catalyzed cyclization, where the diol reacts to form a five-membered dioxolane ring, a common protecting group for diols in organic synthesis.
This diagram is an example of how functional groups in organic chemistry can be manipulated to form more complex structures.
