Need help with part (c). Thank you :)

 

Part 3: Strategy
5. Enantioselective epoxidations are useful reactions when used in multi-step synthesis. That is
because many reactions can convert epoxides to other valuable materials.
a. What physical properties of epoxides make them useful in organic synthesis?
b. Describe (using an appropriate figure) an additional way to prepare an enantioenriched
epoxides.
c. Describe (using appropriate figures) one reaction that exploits epoxides as the starting
materials?
d. If you used an enantioenriched epoxide in this reaction would it produce an
enantioenriched product, why?
