Abstract An asymmetric synthesis of the analogue 4a of isoproterenol and of di‐ o ‐pyvaloylepinephrine 3 which provides both enantiomers in optically pure state is reported. The key step of the method is the highly diastereo‐selective reduction (using DIBAL or DIBAL/ZnCl 2 ) of a β‐ketosulfoxide 7 which leads, as desired, to the ( S )‐ or the ( R )‐configuration at C(1) ( Schemes 4 and 5 ).
