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

How would you prepare the following ethers? Use whichever method you think is more appropriate, Williamson synthesis or the alkoxymercuration reaction.
Predict the major product of each of the following reactions:

Aldehydes and ketones undergo acid-catalyzed reaction with alcoholsto yield hemiacetals,compounds that have one alcohol-like oxygenand one ether-like oxygen bonded to the same carbon. Further reactionof a hemiacetal with alcohol then yields an acetal,a compound that hastwo ether-like oxygens bonded to the same carbon.

(a)Show the structures of the hemiacetal and acetal you would obtainby reaction of cyclohexanone with ethanol.
(b)Propose a mechanism for the conversion of a hemiacetal into anacetal.
