Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a 1,2-epoxycyclohexane produces a transdiaxial 1,2-diol. What product would you expect to obtain from acidic hydrolysis of cis-3-tert-butyl-1,2-epoxycyclohexane? (Recall that the bulky tert-butyl group locks the cyclohexane ring into a specific conformation.)
Review the mechanism of oxymercuration shown in Figure 8-3 on page 230, and then write the mechanism of the alkoxymercuration reaction of 1-methyl-cyclopentene with ethanol. Use curved arrows to show the electron flow in each step.
Meerwein’s reagent, triethyloxoniumtetrafluoroborate, is a powerful ethylating agent that converts alcohols into ethyl ethers at neutral pH. Show the reaction of Meerwein’s reagent with cyclohexanol, and account for the fact that trialkyloxonium salts are much more reactive alkylating agents than alkyl iodides.

Predict the product(s) and provide the mechanism for each two-step
process below.




Treatment of 1,1-diphenyl-1,2-epoxyethane with aqueous acid yields diphenylacetaldehyde as the major product. Propose a mechanism for the reaction.
