CF 3 ‐substituted 1,3‐diols were stereoselectively prepared in excellent enantiopurity and high yield from CF 3 ‐substituted diketones by using an ansa‐ruthenium(II)‐catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in formic acid/triethylamine. The intermediate mono‐reduced alcohol was also obtained in very high enantiopurity by applying milder reaction conditions. In particular, CF 3 C(O)‐substituted benzofused cyclic ketones underwent either a single or a double dynamic kinetic resolution during their reduction.
