Dynamic kinetic resolution of phthalides through asymmetric transfer hydrogenation for the construction of 3-(2-hydroxy-2-arylethyl)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one with 1,3-distereocenters has been developed. This procedure is carried out under a mild condition at 40 degrees C catalyzed with RuCl(S,S)-TsDPEN](mesitylene) using HCOOH/Et3N (5:2) as a hydrogen source. A variety of phthalides are smoothly transferred to provide optically pure phthalides with high yields, excellent enantioselectivities, and acceptable diastereomeric ratios.
