Modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) are enzymatic assembly lines that fuse carbon fragments into complex chiral products. Here, their synthetic logic is employed to chemoenzymatically generate two-stereocenter triketides. Each of the four stereoisomers was constructed in a stereocontrolled manner using C-acylation and two PKS ketoreductases possessing opposite stereoselectivities.
