### Acid-Catalyzed Epoxide Ring-Opening Reaction**Reaction Overview:**The product of the acid-catalyzed epoxide ring-opening reaction shown below is formed as a racemic mixture.**Chemical Reaction:**- Structure: An epoxide ring (cyclic ether) is treated with \( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \).- Result: The ring opens.**Mechanism Step:**- Task: Draw curved arrows to illustrate electron reorganization. Focus on forming one of the product stereoisomers.**Diagrams:**1. **Initial Structure:** - A three-membered cyclic ether structure (epoxide) with two carbon atoms connected by an oxygen atom. - Attached are hydrogens and an additional \( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \) indicating acidic conditions.2. **Mechanism:** - Arrow-pushing is required to show how electrons move during the reaction. - The product demonstrates one potential stereoisomer formation.**Arrow-Pushing Instructions:**- Use curved arrows to demonstrate electron pair movements.- Start arrows from electron-rich areas (lone pairs or bonds) to electron-deficient areas.**Note:**Students should consider factors like stereochemistry while drawing mechanisms to understand product formation and potential stereoisomers thoroughly.

The S 1 mechanism starts with the rate-determining step which is the dissociation of the alkyl halide into a carbocation and a halide ion. The next step is the rapid reaction of the carbocation intermediate with the nucleophile; this step, completes the nucleophilic substitution stage. The step that follows the nucleophilic substitution is a fast acid-base reaction. The nucleophile now acts as a base to remove the proton from the oxonium ion from the previous step, to give the observed product.

The epoxide shown below can form two different products depending on which reaction condition is used. What are the products of each of these reactions? BRIEFLY explain why you get different products depending on the reaction conditions.
