A simple and efficient stereoselective synthesis of (R)-denopamine and other naturally occurring hydroxy amides from optically active (R)-2-azido-1-arylethanols, is described for the first time via reduction of the corresponding alpha-azidoarylketones with enzymes from Darcus Carota root, under mild and environmentally friendly conditions. The products are formed with high degrees of enantioselectivity. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
