Chapter 21, Problem 21.72P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of the product formed from the given reaction is to be drawn, and an explanation for its formation is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The OH groups are poor leaving groups. Therefore, they do not undergo substitution reaction until they are converted into good leaving group. The conversion of OH into good leaving group is possible, if reaction is acid catalyzed.
