38. 2 (5 mmol), water/acetonitrile (2+4 mL), 305 K, 24 h. The epoxidation of allyl acetate did not proceed at all, while that of 1a proceeded to give a 26% yield of 1b under the above conditions Therefore, we conclude that the complete lack of epoxidation reactivity of allyl acetate is not caused by the low solubility into an aqueous phase

40. The effect of methanol on the epoxidation of 1a was examined. As shown in Figure S7, the epoxidation was inhibited by the co-existence of methanol and was completely inhibited in the methanol solvent, suggesting that binding of an alcohol functional group to I is a key step in Scheme 1
41. 2O in the range of 278-305 K showed only resonances of 1a and 1b, and no resonances due to tungsten-alcoholate species were observed
