The dynamic kinetic resolution of α-keto esters via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation has been developed as a technique for the highly stereoselective construction of structurally diverse β-substituted-α- hydroxy carboxylic acid derivatives. Through the development of a privileged m-terphenylsulfonamide for (arene)RuCl(monosulfonamide) complexes with a high affinity for selective α-keto ester reduction, excellent levels of chemo-, diastereo-, and enantiocontrol can be realized in the reduction of β-aryl- and β-chloro-α-keto esters.

Poly-L-leucine catalyses the asymmetric epoxidation of enones 1-6 efficiently in a non-aqueous medium to provide the epoxy ketones 7-12 (70-91% yield; 80 to ≥95% ee). The strategy was used to make diltiazem 16 and the Taxol side chain 23 in single enantiomer form.
