Answer:
(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol
Explanation:
In this case, we have an <u>epoxide opening in acid medium</u>. The first step then is the <u>protonation of the oxygen</u>. Then the epoxide is broken to generate the most <u>stable carbocation</u>. The nucleophile (
) will attack the carbocation generating a new bond. Finally, the oxygen is <u>deprotonated</u> to obtain an ether functional group and we will obtain the molecule <u>(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.
See figure 1
