Textbook Question

Chapter 18, Problem 18.61SP

There are three dioxane isomers 1,2-dioxane, 1,3-dioxane, and 1,4-dioxane. One of these acts like an ether and is an excellent solvent for Grignard reactions. Another one is potentially explosive when heated. The third one quickly hydrolyzes in dilute acid. Show which isomer acts like a simple ether, and then explain why one of them is potentially explosive. Propose a mechanism for the acid hydrolysis of the third isomer.
