Popis: Substituted ( S )-1-phenyl- 2a – h and ( S )-1-benzyl-propan-2-ols 4a and b , and ( S )-1-phenylethanol 6 were produced from prochiral ketones 1a – h , 3a , b and 5 by reductions with freshly harvested Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Debaryomyces hansenii cells. The bioreductions were also performed by lyophilized cells. Comparison of the secondary alcohols from the bioreductions 2b – e , g , h and 4a and authentic ( S )-alcohols ( S )- 2b – e , g , h and ( S )- 4a synthesized from enantiopure ( S )-methyloxirane 7 proved the absolute configuration of the products.
