Draw the structural formula of the major product of the reaction of (S)-2,2,3-trimethyloxirane with MeOH, H . Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists. Include H atoms at chiral centers only. If a group is achiral, do not use wedged or hashed bonds on it.

(S)-3-methoxy-3-methylbutan-2-ol

Explanation:

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

See figure 1
