Problem 2. Illustrate the ring-opening mechanism for the compound below if the resulting product is converted into a diol compound. Assume that such a reaction happened in a laboratory setting. Some xenobiotic compounds are converted by enzymes in the body. What is the implication of the ring-opening of this epoxide-bearing compound to its toxicity? Answer the essay part using a minimum of 300 words.
