2-chloro-3-keto esters were quantitatively hydrogenated to syn and anti 2-chloro-3-hydroxyester by asymmetric hydrogenation with chiral ruthenium (II) catalysts prepared in-situ from (COD)Ru(2-methylallyl)2 in presence of atropisomeric ligands such as MeO-Biphep and Binap, giving enantioselectivity up to 99%, 2-chloro-3-hydroxy esters were treated with different bases to give (E)-and (Z)-2,3-epoxyalkanoates in 65-90% yields with 84-97% ee.
