Both enantiomers of various 1‐aryl‐1,2‐ethanediols have been prepared in a one‐pot method from the corresponding arylethanones through the combination of chemical and enzymatic reactions. A range of aryl groups, phenyl, 4‐chlorophenyl, benzo[ b ]thiophene‐3‐yl, and benzofuran‐2‐yl, were used. The highly enantiomerically enriched ( R )‐ and ( S )‐1‐aryl‐1,2‐ethanediols were obtained with excellent yields, calculated for the arylethanones.
