Popis: The methanolysis of (R)-styrene oxide catalyzed by SnCl4 has been found to proceed with complete regioselectivity with nucleophilic attack at the benzylic position, and with inversion of configuration at the benzylic carbon as the predominant stereochemical course, affording (S)-2-methoxy-2-phenylethanol (95% ee) in high yield.
