17 Question ( 4 points) Epoxides can be opened in aqueous acid or aqueous base to produce diols (molecules with two \( \mathrm{OH} \) groups). In this question, you'll explore the mechanism of epoxide opening in aqueous acid. 10th attempt step \( 1 \Rightarrow \) The hone pair of oxygen atom of eporide ring frok up and prokon fo produce oxonium intermediate. stepz \( \Rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \) attack as a nudeophile to the st carbon centre of, oxonium ion (from below face to avoid skeric repulsion with above face eponide ring) and fpoxide ring openning occurs. step \( 3 \Rightarrow \) anotues \( \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \) act as a fase and fook up profon to give the intermediate nentralify and we get a final product diol compound (Trans).
