Abstract
Whole cells of the fungus Trichothecium were found to be an effective biocatalyst for the enantioselective bioreduction of acetophenone and its analogous compounds to their corresponding (R)-alcohols with good to excellent enantiomeric excesses (90–98%). The easy availability of the biocatalyst besides simple reaction conditions suggests the possible use of the present method for preparing important chiral alcohols.
