A direct one‐pot conversion of (substituted) styrene(s) into the corresponding (substituted) ( R )‐phenylethan‐1‐ol(s) in a highly enantioselective manner has been achieved by using a “chemoenzymatic catalytic system”, comprising a palladium‐catalyzed Wacker–Tsuji oxidation and subsequent enantioselective enzymatic reduction of the in situ formed (substituted) acetophenone(s) (see scheme).
