37. (a) This means that one of the Si-H bonds lies above and between the two O-C bonds when the complex is viewed along the Si-O bond.
38. 2 group is anti- to the oxirane ring plane. This is 4 kJ mol-1 less stable than the skew structure.

54. In this procedure, the internal rotations around the Si-O bonds have been treated as harmonic vibrations. Because these are among the modes in the transition states which are adjusted to match the activation entropies, δS†, and thereby the A factors, this approximation should make little difference.

57. 2 group relative to the oxirane ring is skew, although elsewhere in the paper (pictorial representations in Scheme 4 and Figure 3), it appears to be syn- (cis-).
