O-Protected cyclic acyloins were obtained in nonracemic form through asymmetric bioreduction of α,β-unsaturated alkoxy ketones by using 11 different enoate reductases from the "Old Yellow Enzyme" family. The stereochemical outcome of the biotransformation could be switched by variation of the O-protecting group or by the ring size of the substrate, which allows access to both stereoisomers in up to
