A NADPH-dependent benzil reductase (KRED1-Pglu) was used as recombinant enzyme for catalysing the reduction of different functionalised ketones. The reactions were carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of NADP+ and an enzyme-coupled transformation (oxidation of glucose catalysed by glucose dehydrogenase), for regenerating the cofactor and thus driving the reaction to completion.

Incubation of alcoholic solutions of benzoylacetonitrile, 1, with a suitable aqueous culture of C. lunata results in highly diastereo- and enantioselective reactions leading to α-alkyl β-hydroxy nitriles 3, which are easily reduced to the corresponding γ-amino alcohols 6.

The alkylation-reduction (AR) reaction of beta -keto nitriles by growing cells of Curvularia lunata CECT 2130 has been explored. The reaction conditions for the ethylation of benzoylacetonitrile have been optimized in terms of both yield and stereoselectivity and the mechanism of this biotransformation vas studied. The scope of this reaction has been extended to other alkylations (R = Et, Pr, Bu, iso-Bu) and to a series of aromatic and heteroaromatic substrates, yielding the corresponding optically active alpha -alkyl beta -hydroxy nitrites. The yield (directly related to competing carbonyl reduction reaction) depends on the substrate bulk. whereas the enantiomeric and diastereomeric excesses (both up to 98%) seem to be dependent on several Factors.

8-Amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines as ligands in iridium(III) catalysts for the reduction of aryl ketones by asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH)
Aqua iridium(III) complexes with 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolines CAMPY L1 and its derivatives as chiral ligands proved to be very efficient catalysts for the reduction of a wide range of prochiral aryl ketones, revealing a variety of behaviours in terms of reaction rate and stereoselectivity. As standard substrates, differently substituted acetophenones were studied and good enantioselectivity (86% ee) was achieved in the reduction of 1-(o-tolyl)ethan-1-one 6. Particularly interesting was the ATH reaction in the case of beta-amino keto esters, precursors of beta-lactams and azetidinones. The best results were obtained with [Cp*Ir(H2O)(L1)]SO4 affording the corresponding diastereomeric alcohols in an (R,S)-configuration with an excellent 99% ee in the reduction of 2-(benzamido methyl)-3-oxo-3-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) propanoate 12.

Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of α-Substituted-β-Keto Carbonitriles via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution
A catalytic protocol for the enantio- and diastereoselective reduction of α-substituted-β-keto carbonitriles is described. The reaction involves a DKR-ATH process with the simultaneous construction of β-hydroxy carbonitrile scaffolds with two contiguous stereogenic centers. A wide range of α-substituted-β-keto carbonitriles were obtained in high yields (94%–98%) and excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities
