Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The stereochemical configuration of the propranolol formed by the given sequence is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Epoxides undergo nucleophilic ring opening reactions which are acid-catalyzed.

If the epoxide is unsymmetrical, then the anionic nucleophile will attack the less-hindered carbon atom of the ring.

If the reaction conditions are acidic, then the reaction will occur at the more substituted carbon atom.
