35. That an epoxy group, through the nonbonding electrons of the oxygen atom, is a good effective acceptor of hydrogen bonds, is well known; see: C. R. Johnson, C. J. Cheer, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1968, 90, 178-183.

37. All of the structures were optimized with no symmetry constraints, unless otherwise stated, and using the keyword PRECISE in order to meet rigorous criteria. In order to ensure that results did not involve an artifact, we used different geometries as starting structures in which all of the feasible conformations were considered (i.e. presence or absence of hydrogen bonding to the epoxy oxygen or oxazolinyl heteroatoms, steric hindrance). MOPAC 6.0: J. J. P. Stewart, QCPE 455, 1990. All of the calculations were performed using the keywords PM3, EF, and PRECISE.

41. Signals of carbon atoms that are sterically perturbed appear at higher field than those of similar carbon atoms that are not sterically crowded, as reported; D. M. Grant, B. V. Cheney, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1967, 89, 5315-5318.

51. The formylation of a Grignard reagent via 4,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline was performed by A. I. Meyers et al. by adding a Grignard reagent containing 2.0 equiv. of hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) to a THF suspension of the corresponding oxazolinium salt. In this case aliphatic Grignard reagents were not successfully formylated: A. I. Meyers, E. W. Collington, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1970, 92, 6676-6678.
