Technical Notes:
1. Catalyst for the conversion of olefins to chiral epoxides in high en antiomeric excess.
2. Pharmaceutically important, single enantiomer amino alcohols are efficiently produced from the corresponding chiral epoxide by acid or base-catalyzed epoxide ring-opening reactions.
3.As ymmetric Kinetic resolution of s econdary alcohols in water.
4.Enantios elective Reformatsky reaction with ketones.
