Question

Feedback: You have correctly drawn the product, but not identified the correct characteristics of the products. How many chirality centers does the above structure have? If chiral, could the enantiomer be produced via the same reaction conditions?

Draw the structure of the product formed in the reaction of an epoxide with ethoxide ion. If more than one stereochemical
product is possible, draw only one isomer.
Clearly indicate stereochemistry by drawing a wedged bond, a
dashed bond and two in-plane bonds per chiral carbon.
