Question

Draw the structure of the product formed in the following reaction of an epoxide with ethoxide ion. If more than one stereochemical product is possible, draw only one isomer. Show any H's on chirality centers, if applicable, and use wedge-and-dash bonds. 1.C2H5O- Na+ 2.H+ C2H5OH OH CH2 O CH3 Select all that apply: The product(s) of the reaction are characterized as being S,S. R,S. S. R. achiral. R,R. racemic.
