a. reaction of ${}^{\text{-}}\text{OH}$ with $\text{1-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane}$ or $\text{1-chloro-3-methylcyclohexane}$

b. reaction of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ with ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{CH}\left(\text{Cl}\right){\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$ or ${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{2}}\text{C}\left(\text{Cl}\right){\text{CH}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}$.

c. reaction of ${\left({\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\right)}_{\text{3}}\text{C}\left(\text{Cl}\right)$ with ${}^{\text{-}}\text{OH}$ in ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ or DMSO.
