The structure of the product that is formed is (2R,3S)-hexane-2,3-diol
The missing compound from the given question known as Hex-2-ene is shown with its stick formula in the reactant side of the image attached below.
Alkene reacts with a peracetic acid via the process of epoxidation of alkenes to produce an intermediate known as oxiranes. This intermediate is later being treated with aqueous acid to give a chemical compound with two hydroxyl substituents known as the glycol(diol) family.
Hex-2-ene reacts with peracetic acid CH₃CO₃H.
During the process of the reaction, an oxygen atom is moved from the peracetic acid to the C = C double bond, generating an oxirane ring.
Here;
Peracetic acid is considered to be an electrophilic oxidizing agent because the transferred oxygen atom has a positive charge.
The intermediate (oxirane) is further reacted with aqueous acid to produce an enantiomer of the diol family.
