An efficient enantioselective synthetic route to atorvastatin was developed based on a direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction. The expensive chiral ligand used in the initial aldol reaction was readily recovered (91%) and reused. Implementation of an oxy‐Michael reaction for the construction of the syn‐1, 3‐diol unit eliminated several redundant steps, allowing for rapid access to the common intermediate in six steps (see scheme).
