Thiamphenicol is a widely used antibiotic that exhibits activity against numerous Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative pathogens. Here, we describe the expedient synthesis of its four stereoisomers through a dynamic kinetic resolution that follows a ruthenium‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation or a hydrogen transfer reaction as the key step.
