A mild transformation in an aqueous medium for the one-pot synthesis of optically active 尾-hydroxy sulfones is described. The intermediates of 尾-keto sulfones obtained via a nucleophilic substitution reaction of 伪-bromoketones and sodium sulfinates in H2O/MeOH (1:3, v/v) at 50 掳C were reduced through Ru-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in one-pot using HCOONa as a hydrogen source providing a variety of chiral 尾-hydroxy sulfones with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.
