Enantiopure (S)-betaxolol was prepared in an extremely simple and practical way using hydrolytic kinetic resolution of a terminal epoxide by Jacobsen{\textquoteright}s catalyst. High enantiomeric purity (99\% ee) has been achieved and the method is amenable to industrial scale-up. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A simple and efficient synthesis of chiral drugs (R)-mexiletine 1, an anti-arrhythmic drug and (R)-phenoxybenzamine hydrochloride 2, an anti-hypertensive drug has been described via controlled reductive ring opening of chiral aziridine as a key step. The target compounds 1 and 2 were obtained in overall yields of 34\% and 10.5\%, respectively. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
