( S )‐Propranolol, [1‐isopropylamino‐3‐(1‐naphthoxy)‐2‐propanol], which possesses important β‐adrenergic blocking activity, has been synthesized by a chemicoenzymatic approach. The 2 S ‐absolute configuration was created by the enzyme‐mediated asymmetric hydrolysis of the (±)‐2‐acetoxy‐1‐chloro‐3‐(1‐naphthoxy)‐2‐naphthoxy)‐2‐propanol. The enzymatically produced chiral intermediate was then chemically converted to optically pure ( S )‐propranolol.
