Abstract
Abstract The two modes of the paths in the reaction of oxiranes with phenols are completely controlled by CsF. Glycidyl nosylate undergoes exclusive substitution at the C 1 position whereas the ring-opening (C-3 attack) occurs with epichlorohydrin, glycidol, and 1,2-epoxyalkanes. These reactions provide convenient access to enantiopure β-blockers.
