Seven chiral arylglycerol ethers 2-R-C6H4-O-CH2CH(OH)CH2OH (R 5 H, Me, Et, Allyl, n-Pr, i-Pr, tert-Bu) were synthesized in racemic and scalemic form. The IR spectra, melting points, and enthalpies of fusion for racemic and scalemic samples of every species were measured, the entropies of enantiomers mixing in the liquid state and Gibbs free energies of a racemic compound formation were derived and binary phase diagrams were reconstructed for the whole family. Solid racemic compounds stabilities were ranked for the four substances. Spontaneous resolution was established for the registered chiral drug mephenesin and its ethyl analogue. Metastable anomalous conglomerate, forming crystals having three independent R and one independent S molecules in the unit cell, is formed during solution crystallization of tert-butyl derivative; metastable phase transforms slowly into traditional racemic conglomerate.

A series of 1-acetoxy-3-aryloxypropan-2-ones 1a-m were synthesized and subjected to biotransformation by baker's yeast yielding optically active monoacetates 5 or ent-5 and/or diols 4 of moderate to excellent enantiomeric purity. The dependence of the reduction/hydrolysis ratio and stereoselectivity on the size and substitution pattern of the aromatic moiety in the substrate is also discussed.
