A series of β-hydroxy sulfones were synthesized with high enantioselectivities via a new enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenation using MeO-BIPHEP as a ligand. Some β-hydroxy sulfones were used in the synthesis of optically active butenolides and γ-butyrolactones with high yields and enantioselectivities over 95%.
