short reaction sequence involving asymmetricorganocatalytic sulfenylation of an aldehyde, organometallic addition, and desulfurization. This process provides access to enantioenriched alcohols with sterically similar groups attached to the alcohol carbon atom. The intermediate β-hydroxysulfides can also serve as precursors to enantioenriched 1,2-disubstituted epoxides via alkylation of the sulfur and

Four ketoreductases (KREDs) were identified for the enantioselectivesynthesis of β-hydroxysulfides. KRED311 and KRED349 catalyse the synthesis of β-hydroxysulfides bearing a stereocentre at the C−Obond with opposite absolute configurations via chemoenzymaticcascades from thiophenols/thiols and α-haloketones/alcohols. KRED253 and KRED384 catalyse the synthesis of β-hydroxysulfides bearing a stereocentre
