The asymmetric synthesis of the active form of the antiinflammatory drug loxoprofen has been reported in this article. Enzymatic kinetic resolution/racemization of a substituted homo-benzylic primary alcohol with lipase-PS, asymmetric alkylation of cyclic ketones using either Enders' or Meyers' strategy followed by a stereoselective biocatalytic reduction of carbonyl group are the key reactions employed successfully to achieve the target molecule and one of its analogue.
