A simple and mild procedure was developed for the first time for the C(3)‐selective ring opening of an aromatic 2,3‐epoxy alcohol, i.e. , of trans ‐3‐phenyloxirane‐2‐methanol ( 1 ), with sodium phenoxides or thiophenoxides (=benzenethiolates) 2 supported by β ‐cyclodextrin in H 2 O at 50° to afford the corresponding 3‐(aryloxy)‐ or 3‐(arylthio)propane1,2‐diols 3 in excellent yields ( Scheme, Table ).
