A suitable "process window" was identified for the combination of an asymmetric organocatalytic aldol reaction and subsequent biocatalytic reduction in aqueous medium, which thus enabled the enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of 1,3-diols in a tandem-type, one-pot process. A key feature of this one-pot synthesis is the high 500 mM loading of the aldehyde substrate used as a starting material.
