a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The products for the following reactions are to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

Sharpless epoxidation: An Alkene containing a Hydroxyl group in the allylic position is called as Allylic alcohols. Allylic position is the position next to $\text{C=C}$ bond.

Sharpless catalyst consists of Titanium tetraiospropoxide and one enantiomer of Diethyl tartrate ( $\text{DET}$)

      

A chiral complex is formed with Titanium tetraisopropoxide and with either $\text{+DET}$ or $\text{-DET}$, and this complex serves as the chiral catalyst.
