Treatment of the following epoxide with aqueous acid produces a carbocation intermediate that reacts with water to give a diol product. Show the structure of the carbocation, and propose a mechanism for the second step.
Use the reaction of a Grignard reagent with a carbonyl compound to synthesize the following compound:

Benzyl chloride can be converted intobenzaldehyde by treatment with nitromethane and base. The reactioninvolves the initial conversion of nitromethane in to its anion, followed by SN2 reaction of the anion with benzyl chloride and subsequent E2 reaction. Write the mechanism in detail, using curved arrows to indicate the electron flow in each step.
