Optically pure phenyl-substituted oxiranes underwent stereospecific ring opening at the benzylic position by benzyl alcohol and methanol with complete inversion under the catalysis of organotin phosphate condensates. With recourse to this reaction, a novel procedure for (S)-phenyloxirane was achieved from the readily available R counterpart via (S)-2-benzyloxy-2-phenylethanol. © 1991 Georg Thieme Verlag.
