The SN2 reaction between diastereomerically enriched (R)-pantolactone (S)-α-bromoesters and sodium p-chloroaryloxide affords chiral aryloxy esters. Depending on the solvent used in the reaction, the diastereomeric ratios could be strongly modified or inverted. In DMSO, the epimerization can be prevented and the (R)-aryloxy esters are obtained with good diastereomeric ratios.
