Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The complete mechanism for the given reactions is to be drawn, and the major product is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Under neutral or basic conditions, a nucleophile attacks an
Under acidic conditions, a nucleophile attacks an epoxide at the more highly alkyl-substituted carbon. The C-O bonds in an epoxide partially break as a result of protonation, lengthening the C-O bonds. As a result, more positive charge develops at the more hindered side.
