A series of optically active β-hydroxy sulfones has been obtained through an oxosulfonylation-stereoselective reduction sequence in aqueous medium. Firstly, β-keto sulfones were synthesized from arylacetylenes and sodium sulfinates to subsequently develop the carbonyl reduction in a highly selective fashion using alcohol dehydrogenases as biocatalysts. Optimization of the chemical oxosulfonylation reaction was investigated, finding inexpensive iron(III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3 ? 6H2O) as the catalyst of choice. The selection of isopropanol in the alcohol-water media resulted in high compatibility with the enzymatic process for enzyme cofactor recycling purposes, providing a straightforward access to both (R)- and (S)-β-hydroxy sulfones. The practical usefulness of this transformation was illustrated by describing the synthesis of a chiral intermediate of Apremilast. Interestingly, the development of a chemoenzymatic cascade approach avoided the isolation of β-keto sulfone intermediates, which allowed the preparation of chiral β-hydroxy sulfones in high conversion values (83–94 %) and excellent optical purities (94 to >99 % ee).

A highly efficient Ir/f-Amphol-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral β-keto sulfones was successfully developed to prepare a series of chiral β-hydroxy sulfones with good to excellent results (62%->99% conversions, 35%-99% yields and 86%->99% ee). Our Ir/f-Amphol L4 catalytic system exhibited very high activity; the gram-scale asymmetric hydrogenation was performed well with just 0.005 mol% catalyst loading (S/C = 20,000) to afford the desired product 2a with >99% conversion, 99% yield and 93% ee.

A three-step protocol toward 1,1,2-triarylethanes 1 starting with β-ketosulfones 2 is developed. A facile process is carried out for the (1) reduction of 2 with NaBH4, (2) BF3·OEt2-mediated Friedel-Crafts reactions of the
