When optically active propylene oxide is used the 12-diol


Propylene oxide can be converted to 1,2-propanediol by the action of either dilute acid or base. When optically active propylene oxide is used, the 1,2-diol obtained from the acid hydrolysis has a optical rotation opposite from the Alkaline hydrolysis. Write the mechanism of each hydrolysis that is likely to explain these facts.
