Procedure

The starting phenol derivative (2.50 g) of the following formula: ##STR25## and R-(-)-epichlorohydrin (chemical purity: 98.5% or more, optical purity: 99% or more, 4.25 g) and benzyltriethylammonium chloride (20 mg) are dissolved in dimethylformamide (3 ml) and thereto is added dropwise 24 wt. % aqueous sodium hydroxide (1.2 equivalent) at 60° C. After reacting at the same temperature for 40 minutes, the reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and extracted with ether. The extract is distilled under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue is purified by silica gel chromatography to give S isomer of glycidyl ether (1.62 g) of the following formula: ##STR26##
