An efficient enantioselective synthesis of (S)-timolol has been described using chiral Co-salen-catalyzed kinetic resolution of less expensive (+/-)-epichlorohydrin with 3-hydroxy-4-(N-morpholino)-1,2,5-thiadiazole in good overall yield (55%) and excellent enantioselectivity (98%). Synthesis of (S)-timolol has also been achieved using hydrolytic kinetic resolution as well as asymmetric dihydroxylation routes in 90% ee and 56% ee, respectively. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
