Hydrogenation of enantioenriched β‐hydroxy ketones promoted by the catalyst generated in situ from commercially available and inexpensive RuCl 3 and PPh 3 under hydrogen pressure allowed the efficient preparation of a variety of anti ‐1,3‐diols in good yields and with a high level of diastereoselectivity. This method should be an interesting alternative to organoboron reagents for the diastereoselective reduction of β‐hydroxy ketones. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
