p-Nitrophenol (0.92 g, 6.6 mmol) was dissolved in 5 ml anhydrous DMF and cesium fluoride (3.02 g, 19.9 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature and (S)-Glycidyl nosylate (1.71 g, 6.6 mmol) was added. The system was stirred for an additional 24 hours at room temperature. Water (150 ml) was added, and the solution was extracted with ethylacetate. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The residue was purified with column chromatograph using ethylacetate:hexane (50:50) solvent system to give (S)-Glycidyl p-nitrophenyl ether (99.6% ee, based on chiral HPLC with Chiralcel OD, m.p 78-9° C.) as a yellowish solid (1.21 g, 93% yield). The NMR values are the same as the literature values for the racemic mixture: 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.78 (dd, 1H), 2.95 (t 1H), 3.39 (m 1H), 4.0 (dd, 1H), 4.38 (dd, 1H), 6.99 (dd, 2H), 8.2 (dd, 2H).
