PROCESS FOR PRODUCING (S)-1-(4-PHENOXYPHENOXY)-2-PROPANOL

摘要

A process for producing (S)-1-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)-2-propanol having a high optical purity, characterized by reacting a sulfonic ester compound represented by the formula (1): (1) (wherein R<1> represents halogeno, nitro, or C1-4 alkyl; and R<2> represents C1-4 alkyl or optionally substituted phenyl) with phenoxyphenol in the presence of a base.
