Abstract: The present invention includes a process for enantioselective preparation of a non-racemic compound, which is either usable as a fragrance or flavor component or is convertible to a fragrance or flavor component by one or more additional reaction steps. The process includes the step of contacting either a substrate capable of forming a non-racemic compound by an enantioselective reaction and a co-reactant in the presence of a non-racemic catalyst, or a non-racemic or enantiopure substrate and a co-reactant, optionally in the presence of a racemic or non-racemic catalyst. The contacting is carried out at a temperature and length of time that is sufficient to produce the non-racemic compound with high optical purity. The process is used in stereoselective preparation of enantiomerically enriched intermediates useful in the preparation of non-racemic, chiral flavor and fragrance components.
