Answer:
Pentan-2-ol
Explanation:
On this reaction, we have a <u>Grignard reagent</u> (ethylmagnesium bromide), therefore we will have the production of a <u>carbanion</u> (step 1). Then this carbanion can <u>attack the least substituted carbon</u> in the epoxide in this case carbon 1 (step 2). In this step, the epoxide is open and a negative charge is generated in the oxygen. The next step, is the <u>treatment with aqueous acid</u>, when we add acid the <u>hydronium ion</u> () would be produced, so in the reaction mechanism, we can put the hydronium ion. This ion would be <u>attacked by the negative charge</u> produced in the second step to produce the final molecule: <u>"Pentan-2-ol".</u>
