Asymmetric reductive ring opening of oxabenzonorbornadiene provides dihydronaphthalenols in high ee and good yield. Functionality present in this system can be used to elaborate the core towards a number of targets. As an illustration, a concise stereoselective synthesis of the important antidepressant sertraline is described.
