Many alkaloids containing a tetrahydro‐ β ‐carboline skeleton have well‐known therapeutic effects, leading to increased interest in the synthesis of these natural products. Enantiomers of  N ‐Boc‐protected 1‐hydroxymethyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐ β ‐carboline [(±)‐ 7 ], 1‐hydroxymethyl‐6‐methoxy‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐ β ‐carboline [(±)‐ 8 ], and 1‐hydroxymethyl‐6‐fluoro‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐ β ‐carboline [(±)‐ 9 ] were prepared through enzymecatalyzed asymmetric acylation of their primary hydroxyl group. The preliminary experiments were performed in a continuous‐flow system, while the preparative‐scale resolutions were done as batch reactions. Excellent enantioselectivities ( E >200) were obtained with  Candida antarctica  lipase B (CAL‐B) and acetic anhydride in toluene at 60 °C. The recovered alcohols and the produced esters were obtained with high enantiomeric excess values ( ee ≥96 %). The O‐acylated enantiomers [( S )‐ 10 –( S )‐ 12 )] were transformed into the corresponding amino alcohols [( S )‐ 7 –( S )‐ 9 )] with methanolysis. Microwave‐assisted Boc removals were also performed and resulted in the corresponding compounds ( R )‐ 4 –( R )‐ 6  and ( S )‐ 4 –( S )‐ 6  without a drop in the enantiomeric excess values ( ee ≥96 %).
