Epoxides are very much unstable in acid medium. The given epoxide first form intermediate oxonium ion in presence of H(+) ion in the first step. Now the water molecule attack to the oxonium ion from the back side(SN2 pathway) of oxonium ion intermediate via two pathways (a) and (b) respectively to form the corresponding racemic mixture product.

Which mechanism is the correct order for the acid-catalyzed opening of an epoxide?Select answer from the options belowProton Transfer - Nucleophilic attack- Proton TransferProton Transfer - Nucleophilic attack- Loss of a Leaving Group - Proton TransferNucleophilic attack - Nucleophilic attack - Proton TransferNucleophilic attack - Proton Transfer - Nucleophilic attack
