A short and efficient enantioselective synthesis of (R)-(-)-baclofen, a selective GABAB agonist has been described with an overall yield of 26% and 90% ee. Ru(II)-(S)-BINAP catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of C=C and C=O groups constitute the key steps in introducing stereogenic centers into the molecule.
