Question
The image contains a series of organic chemistry reactions demonstrating different chemical processes. Here's a detailed transcription and explanation of each reaction sequence:

1. **Epoxide Opening with Acid:**
   - **Starting Material:** Epoxide (three-membered oxygen-containing ring attached to a cyclohexane).
   - **Reagents:** 
     - Step 1: Water (H₂O)
     - Step 2: Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄)
   - **Overview:** The epoxide ring is opened using water in the presence of sulfuric acid, which typically leads to a diol with anti-addition.

2. **Grignard Reaction with Epoxide:**
   - **Starting Material:** Cyclopentane with a magnesium bromide (MgBr, a Grignard reagent).
   - **Reagents:**
     - Step 1: Epoxide
     - Step 2: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) and Water (H₂O)
   - **Overview:** The Grignard reagent attacks the less hindered carbon of the epoxide, opening the ring and forming an alcohol after acidic work-up.

3. **Hydroboration-Oxidation:**
   - **Starting Material:** Cyclohexene.
   - **Reagents:**
     - Step 1: Borane (BH₃) in tetrahydrofuran (THF)
     - Step 2: Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and water (H₂O)
   - **Overview:** This reaction adds water across the double bond in a syn addition to form a primary alcohol.

4. **Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetroxide:**
   - **Starting Material:** Cyclohexene.
   - **Reagents:**
     - Step 1: Osmium tetroxide (OsO₄) in THF
     - Step 2: Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S)
   - **Overview:** This reaction results in the syn addition of two hydroxyl groups, transforming the alkene into a vicinal diol.

5. **Oxymercuration-Reduction:**
   - **Starting Material:** Cyclohexene.
   - **Reagents:**
     - Step 1: Mercuric acetate [Hg(OAc)₂] in ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH)
     - Step 2
