(2S)-3-(tert-Butylsulfonyl)-2-benzylpropionic acid 1, which is used as the N-terminal chiral building block of renin inhibitors, is synthesized from (Z)-2-(tert-butylsulfonylmethyl)-3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid 6 by enantioselective hydrogenation using Ru-BINAP complexes in the presence of triethylamine with 84% ee. The enantioselective hydrogenation of a substrate with sulfone functionality is first reported.Key words: hydrogenation, enantioselectivity, Ru-BINAP, oxidation, renin inhibitor.

A total synthesis of the marine macrolide biselide A is described that relies on an enantiomerically enriched α-chloroaldehyde as the sole chiral building block.
