Ethylene oxide is the starting material for the synthesis of 1,4-dioxepane. Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the reaction mechanism. Ethylene glycol, a common organic solvent and automotive antifreeze agent, is synthesized by reaction of ethylene oxide in water with a sulfuric acid catalyst. Write a detailed mechanism for this synthesis (Shown above). Then draw curved arrows that depict electron reorganization for Step 2 of the mechanism shown below. Unless specified otherwise, do not count proton transfers when counting steps. The starting materials of this step are provided.
