Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product distribution that tells a chemist about the mechanism of the acid-catalyzed epoxide ring opening has to be discussed.

Concept Introduction:

Stereochemistry: The spatial arrangement of atoms or groups present in compound.

Epoxides: are more reactive than simple ethers due to three membered ring strains. Reaction of epoxides with nucleophiles opens the ring by which the ring strain is relieved.

Ring opening: Ring opening of epoxide takes place by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an epoxide.

Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an epoxide:
