E. You are provided with two bottles labeled "1,2-Cyclopentanediol"; one contains a compound of m.p. 30°C and the other, a compound of m.p. 55°C; both compounds are optically inactive. What simple reaction can you perform on each of them in order to decide which bottle should be labeled "cis" or "trans".
