General description

Benzyl glycidyl ether is a glycidyl derivative. Rac-/(R)-benzyl glycidyl ether participates in the synthesis of atactic and isotactic linear poly(benzyl 1,2-glycerol carbonate)s. Biocatalytic resolution of racemic benzyl glycidyl ether by Talaromyces flavus has been described. Resolution of benzyl glycidyl ether to (S)-benzyl glycidyl ether with 30% ee and (R)-3-benzyloxypropane-1,2-diol with 40% ee by whole Bacillus alcalophilus cells has been reported. It reacts with K^-, K⁺(15-crown-5)₂ to afford potassium glycidoxide and bibenzyl.
