results of our studies on the biocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of different 3-aryl-2-nitropropanols are presented. These compounds could be obtained in moderate to good ee both by baker'syeast mediated reduction of (E)-2-nitro-3-arylprop-2-en-1-ol precursors and by lipase kineticresolution of racemic 3-aryl-2-nitropropanols. The synthesis of enantioenriched (R)-5-methoxy-3-aminochroman is also
