(a)
To determine: The actual oxidizing agent and the function of the other reagents.
Interpretation: The actual oxidizing agent is to be identified and the function of other reagents is to be stated.
Concept introduction: In catalytic asymmetric synthesis, an achiral starting material is converted into mostly one enantiomer of a chiral product. An asymmetric epoxidation of allylic alcohols yield
(b)
To determine: An explanation corresponding to the fact that Sharpless epoxidation gives only one pure enantiomer of the product.
Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the fact that Sharpless epoxidation gives only one pure enantiomer of the product is to be stated.

(c)
To determine: The other enantiomer of the product.
Interpretation: The other enantiomer of the product is to be stated.
