Abstract

Abstract Alkyl phenyl 2, 3-epoxycarboxylates from the well-known Darzens glycidic esters synthesis react under very mild conditions with pyridinium-poly-hydrogen fluoride to give corresponding 3-fluoro 3-phenyllactates in almost quantitative yields with a high regio and stereoselectivity.
