Microbial asymmetric reduction of α-hydroxyketones in the anti-Prelog selectivity
摘要:
Yamadazyma farinosa IFO 10896 was found to reduce alpha -hydroxyketones bearing a phenyl ring to give optically active diols with anti-Prelog selectivity. The distance between the carbonyl group and the phenyl ring was shown to have an interesting effect on the reactivity and selectivity of the enzyme system. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
