Chapter 9, Problem 9.67P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The reaction conditions that are needed to convert (R)-2-ethyl-2-methyloxirane to (R)-2-methylbutane-1, 2-diol are to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The opening of an epoxide/oxirane ring is regioselective either it takes place with a strong nucleophile (:Nu) or an acid (HZ). The mechanism of the reaction with :Nu is SN2, and the mechanism of the reaction with HZ is in between SN2andSN1.
