Upon protonation of the epoxide oxygen the halide ion simplistic attacks the less-hindered 1 carbon with a greater frequency to deliver the major regioisomer.

Upon protonation of the epoxide oxygen the halogen attacks the more-stabilized (same as moresubstituted) carbon atom to give the major regioisomer described. elemen tary Conditions Note Nucleophile will always attack least-hindered position.

Which of the two oxygen atoms is most likely to be eliminated and why? Answer First, there is protonation of the 3? OH group, then a 3? carbocation is formed via loss of H2O. Then there is a nucleophilic attack of the carbocation by the 2nd OH group. The 3? OH group is the one eliminated in all likelihood because its removal involves the formation of the more stable 3? carbocation.
