(SiR, CR)- and (SiS, CR)-t-butyl(1-hydroxyethyl)methylphenylsilane [(SiR,CR)-2 and (SiS,Cr)-3] have been prepared by (R)-selective microbial reduction of racemic acetyl(t-butyl)methylphenylsilane (rac-1) using resting free cells of the yeast Trigonopsis (DSM 70714) or the bacterium Corynebacterium dioxydans (ATCC 21766). The biotransformations were carried out on a 10 g scale. After separation by column chromatography on silica gel, the optically active diastereomers (SiR, CR)-2 and (SiS,CR)-3 produced by T. variabilis were obtained in good yields [74% ((SiR, CR)-2, 78% ((SiS, CR)}3)T. The products obtained from the reduction with C. dixydants were isolated in significantly lower yields [20% ((SiR, CR)-), 20% ((SiS,CR)-3)]; reaction conditions not optimized). Both bioconversions gave products with high enantiomeric purities [T. variabilis: 97% ee ((SiR, CR)-2), 96% ee ((SiS, CR)-3); C. dioxydans: greater-than-or-equal-to 99% ee ((SiR, CR)-2), greater-than-or-equal-to 99% ee ((SiS, CR)-3)].To throw light on the stereochemical aspects of these biotransformations, an X-ray diffraction study was carried out on the 3,5-dinitrobenzoate of rac-(SiR,CS/SiS,CR)-3. In addition, H-1 NMR spectroscopic stereochemical correlation studies were performed with the (S)-MTPA esters derived from (SiR,CR)-2, (SiS,CR)-3, rac-(SiR,CR/SiS,CS)-2 and rac-(SiR,CS/SiS,CR)-3 [rac-(SiR,CR/SiS,CS)-2 and rac-(SiR,CS/SiS,CR)-3 were obtained by reduction of rac-1 with LiA1H4 in diethyl ether, followed by chromatographic separation of the diastereomers on silica gel]. These stereochemical studies allowed assignment of the absolute configurations and enantiomeric purities of the biotransformation products.
