A new practical method for the enzymatic synthesis of 1,2-diols has been developed by employing a lipase catalyzed one-pot transesterification protocol. A series of substituted α-acetoxyphenylethanones 3a–g have been reduced to the corresponding alcohols under mild conditions employing sodium borohydride and moist neutral alumina, and further subjected for lipase catalyzed irreversible transesterification
