Reaction Steps

To this was added 2.47 g of (R)-(-)-2-chloro-1-(pentafluorophenyl)ethanol obtained in the method of Example 8, and was stirred for one hour at 60° C. to allow reaction to take place. After addition of 20 mg of AIBN, the reaction mixture was further stirred for three hours at 60° C. The subsequent distillation under reduced pressure gave 0.30 g of (S)-(-)-1-(pentafluorophenyl)ethanol.
