Asymmetric reduction of ketones by Geotrichum candidum in the presence of AmberliteTM XAD, a solid organic solvent

Abstract

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.
