description The <i>β</i>-blocker (<i>S</i>)-bisoprolol hemifumarate has been synthesised in 96% enantiomeric excess with 19% total yield in a six-step synthesis. A transesterification reaction of the racemic chlorohydrin 1-chloro-3-(4-((2-isopropoxyethoxy)methyl)phenoxy)propan-2-ol catalysed by lipase B from <i>Candida antarctica</i> resulted in the <i>R</i>-chlorohydrin in high enantiomeric purity. Reaction of this building block with isopropylamine in methanol gave (<i>S</i>)-bisoprolol, and further reaction with fumaric acid gave (<i>S</i>)-bisoprolol fumarate in 96% ee. Specific rotation value confirmed the absolute configuration of the enantiopure drug.
