- (a) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of cis-hex-3-ene to the epoxide (3,4-epoxyhexane)and the ring-opening reaction to give the glycol, hexane-3,4-diol. In your mechanism, payparticular attention to the stereochemistry of the intermediates and products.(b) Repeat part (a) for trans-hex-3-ene. Compare the products obtained from cis- andtrans-hex-3-ene. Is this reaction sequence stereospecific?arrow_forwardThe name of the parent six-membered sulfur-containing heterocycle is thiane.
