Abstract
A series of optically active β-hydroxy sulfones has been obtained through an oxosulfonylation-stereoselective reduction sequence in aqueous medium. Firstly, β-keto sulfones were synthesized from arylacetylenes and sodium sulfinates to subsequently develop the carbonyl reduction in a highly selective fashion using alcohol dehydrogenases as biocatalysts. Optimization of the chemical oxosulfonylation reaction was investigated, finding inexpensive iron(III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3 ⋅ 6H2 O) as the catalyst of choice. The selection of isopropanol in the alcohol-water media resulted in high compatibility with the enzymatic process for enzyme cofactor recycling purposes, providing a straightforward access to both (R)- and (S)-β-hydroxy sulfones. The practical usefulness of this transformation was illustrated by describing the synthesis of a chiral intermediate of Apremilast. Interestingly, the development of a chemoenzymatic cascade approach avoided the isolation of β-keto sulfone intermediates, which allowed the preparation of chiral β-hydroxy sulfones in high conversion values (83-94 %) and excellent optical purities (94 to >99 % ee).

Abstract
Ketoreductase (KRED)-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones is an attractive method to synthesize chiral alcohols. Herein, two KREDs LfSDR1-V186A/E141I and CgKR1-F92I with complementary stereopreference were identified towards reduction of apremilast prochiral ketone intermediate 1a. LfSDR1-V186A/E141I exhibited >99% conversion and 99.2% ee yielding an apremilast chiral alcohol intermediate ((R)-2a) at 50 g L-1 substrate loading. Furthermore, we investigated the substrate scope of β-keto sulfones by using LfSDR1-V186A/E141I and CgKR1-F92I to produce both enantiomers of the corresponding β-hydroxy sulfones, with good-to-excellent conversion (up to >99%) and enantioselectivity (up to 99.9% ee) being obtained in most cases. Finally, the gram-scale synthesis of (R)-2a was performed by employing the crude enzyme of LfSDR1-V186A/E141I and BsGDH to afford the desired enantiomer with >99% conversion, 85.9% isolated yield and 99.2% ee. This study presents a biocatalytic strategy to synthesize chiral β-hydroxy sulfones.

Abstract
Chiral sulfones extensively exist in drugs, agricultural chemicals, chiral organic intermediates, and functional materials. Their importance causes the rapid development of their synthetic methods in recent years. Many transition metal complex catalysts with chiral ligands and chiral organocatalysts are adopted in synthesis of chiral sulfones. Most of the methods to construct chiral sulfones are based on the reduction of unsaturated sulfones and the introduction of sulfone groups into unsaturated hydrocarbons. This review describes all classes of asymmetric reactions for synthesis of chiral sulfones.
