Unusual stereoselectivity in the reduction of bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-en-8-one by Thermoanaerobiumbrockii alcohol dehydrogenase

Abstract

The Thermoanaerobium brockii alcohol dehydrogenase (TBADH) catalysed reduction of the racemic bicyclic ketone 5 gives epimeric alcohols derived from the same enantiomeric series, the reduction is enantioselective but not diastereoselective, an unusual result for a single enzyme.
