5. When the following optically pure (S)-epoxide is treated with NaH (a base), the corresponding alkoxide that forms undergoes an exclusive intramolecular S-type ring opening of the epoxide (100% conversion; Shown to the right). Select from the following. the best description of the product(s). A. The product is an optically inactive meso-compound. The product produced is a racemate. B. C. D. E. HO (S) The product is the same (S)-epoxide as the starting agent. A mixture of optically pure diastereomers are produced. A meso-compound and a single diastereomer (as a single enantiomer) are formed. NaH ???
