Abstrakt: Biocatalytic hydrogen-transfer reduction of α-chloro-ketones furnished non-racemic chlorohydrins by employing either Rhodococcus ruber as lyophilized cell catalyst or an alcohol dehydrogenase preparation from Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM 50106 (PF-ADH). For all substrates investigated, Rhodococcus ruber gave strictly the “Prelog” product, whereas PF-ADH showed scattered stereopreference. One possibility for a follow-up reaction of halohydrins is the ring closure to the corresponding epoxide. A novel “one pot-one step strategy” was employed to obtain the enantiopure epoxide from the α-chloro-ketone in a cascade like fashion at pH>12 involving biocatalytic hydrogen transfer reduction and in situ chemo-catalyzed ring closure.
