When a methyl ester is hydrolyzed under acidic conditions in H,180, the 180 isotope ends up in the carboxylic acid. When a tert-butyl ester is hydrolyzed under the same conditions, the labeled oxygen ends up in the alcohol product. (a) Propose mechanisms to account for these observations. (b) Explain why each ester undergoes the respective mechanism. CH3 + Но-СНЗ 18 + H180 H ОН

CH CH IV C Me Me OH The reaction shows a ring-opening of an epoxide with a strong nucleophile. In the first step, there is a nucleophilic attack (SN2) by the acetylide ion to any of the epoxide's two carbons since they are equally substituted, causing the ring to open. The second step is the protonation of the anionic oxygen by H₂O. The nucleophilic attack happens through a back-side attack to where the epoxide oxygen is bonded. Hence, the alkyne is bonded with a dash bond, and the alcohol's oxygen is bonded with a wedge bond. This corresponds to the formation of Product II.
