A novel and practical chiral ruthenium-NHC-diamine system is disclosed for the enantioselective hydrogenation of isocoumarins, which provides a new concept to apply (chiral) NHC ligands in asymmetriccatalysis. A variety of optically active 3-substituted 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins were obtained in excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Moreover, this methodology was utilized in the synthesis of

Baeyer−Villigermonooxygenases have been tested in the oxidation of racemic benzofused ketones. When employing a single mutant of phenylacetone monooxygenase (M446G PAMO) under the proper reaction conditions, it was possible to achieve 3-substituted 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins with high yields and optical purities through regioselective dynamic kinetic resolution processes.
