Regio- and stereoselective ring opening of styrene oxide (phenyloxirane) at the non-benzylic position was achieved by lithium azide/hexamethylphosphoric triamide. Optically pure (R)-2-azido-1-phenylethanol was obtained from the readily available (R)-phenyloxirane with complete retention of configuration.
