Chapter 22, Problem 22.84(choose chapter or problem)
When the epoxide 2-vinyloxirane reacts with lithium dibutylcuprate, followed by protonolysis, a compound A is the major product formed.

Treatment of B with Ag2O, followed by catalytic hydrogenation, gives octanoic acid. Identify A and B, and outline a mechanism for the formation of A.
