Abstract

A general and enantiocontrolled synthetic route to 2-arylpropionic acids, represented by non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs S-naproxen 1a and S-ibuprofen 1b, has been developed by employing the lipase-mediated asymmetric acetylation of prochiral 2-aryl-1, 3- propanediol 3, which has been derived via a Heck reaction, as the key step.
