For preparation of all four enantiomers of 2-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-1-cyclohexanol (1a-4a) by biotransformation reactions, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) and pig pancreatic lipase (PPL) were used in aqueous media. The THP-protected substrates (5b, 6b and 7b) gave products with a good enantiomeric excess comparable with that of the CH3-protected substrates (5c,6c and 7c), whereas the deprotection was much easier in case of the THP-protected compounds.
