Technical Notes:

1. Catalyst used in the kinetic resolution of racemic, terminal epoxides yielding a chiral diol and the unreacted enantiomer of the

epoxide

2.Precursor to a Co() catalyst for the kinetic resolution of terminal epoxides with alcohols.

3.Desymmetrization of meso-epoxides with carboxylic acids and fluoride.

4.Catalyst for asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene

5.catalyst for copolymerization ofCOz and epoxides.

6.Enantioselective intramolecular openings of oxetanes.
