✦ Synopsis


2-Substituted (S)-1,2-diols were prepared in a one-pot procedure with >90% ee and >90% isolated yield via deracemization of (:l:)-2,2-disubstituted oxiranes through sequential (i) biocatalytic asymmetric hydrolysis using Nocardia EH1 epoxide hydrolase and (ii) acid catalyzed hydrolysis of the remaining oxirane enantiomer.
