Enantiomerically pure ( R )‐profen derivatives and intermediates are synthesised utilising the enzyme YqjM, an ene reductase from Bacillus subtilis . After optimisation of the reaction conditions, the chemoenzymatic approach was applied for the first time in the synthesis of ( R )‐flurbiprofen methyl ester.
