A hydrophobic polymer, Amberlite™ XAD, was used as material to control the stereochemical course of microbial reductions. In the presence of XAD, simple aliphatic and aromatic ketones were reduced to the corresponding (S)-alcohols in excellent enantiomeric excess (ee) while low enantioselectivities were observed in the absence of the polymer.
Racemization in combination with a kineticresolution is the base for a dynamic kineticresolution (DKR). Biocatalytic racemization was successfully performed for a broad scope of sec‐alcohols by employing a single alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) variant from Thermoanaerobacter pseudoethanolicus (formerly T. ethanolicus; TeSADH W110A I86A C295A). The catalyst employed as a lyophilized whole cell preparation

Because chiral dialkyl carbinols, as well as their derived esters, are significant as intermediates and end points in fields such as organic, pharmaceutical, and biological chemistry, the development of efficient approaches to their asymmetric synthesis is an important endeavor. In this report, we describe a method for the direct catalytic enantioselective synthesis of such esters, beginning with an

Fungal mediated kineticresolution of seven acyclic/aromatic acetates was achieved using Fusarium proliferatum to furnish (R)-alcohols in high enantiomeric excess (>95%). The kineticresolution was established as one-pot two-step de-esterification/oxidation biocatalyticprocess. Further, the preparative scale synthesis of (R)-(+)-1-phenylethanol was accomplished through de-esterification/oxidation
