Identify the starting material as cyclohexene, which is an alkene with a double bond.
Recognize the first reagent, mCPBA (meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid), as an epoxidizing agent that will convert the alkene into an epoxide.
Understand that the epoxide formed will be a three-membered cyclic ether, specifically an oxirane, on the cyclohexane ring.
Note that the second step involves acidic hydrolysis using H2SO4 and H2O, which will open the epoxide ring to form a diol.
Consider the stereochemistry: the opening of the epoxide in acidic conditions typically leads to anti-dihydroxylation, resulting in a trans-diol on the cyclohexane ring.
