KI, Oxone H₂O 22 °C, 1 hr Scheme 1: lodolactionization starting materials and reaction conditions LOH 1. Theoretically, two different regioisomers of product could form in this reaction. In practice, only one forms. Provide the two possible regioisomers, identify which is formed, and explain why this one is formed preferentially. 2. The product initially forms as the protonated lactone. What species in solution is most likely to deprotonate this molecule to give the final product? Provide 2 reasons in support of your answer.
