Abstract

Two methods are reported for synthesizing a chiral allylic alcohol from the corresponding racemic α,β-unsaturated ketone. Transition metal-based transfer hydrogenation provides the desired allylic alcohol in high enantiomeric purity but low diastereomeric excess. In contrast, an enzymatic dynamic kinetic reduction proceeds with high diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity.
