Answer
The following synthetic conversion can be obtained through acid-catalyzed hydration or oxymercuration-demercuration.
Work Step by Step
The picture shows the process for acid catalyzed hydration. It can be observed that there is a chance of carbocation rearrangement. The resulting product will be a mixture of products.
Thus, to obtain the desired product oxymercuration-demercuration should be performed with the following steps:
1) Electrophilic attack of $ ^+Hg(OAc)$ forms a mercurinium ion.
2) $OH^-$ attacks the most substituted carbon and opens the ring to give an organomercurial alcohol.
3) Demercuration with $NaBH_4$ replaces the mercuric fragment with hydrogen to give an alcohol.
