Popis: The stereoselectivity of the reduction of rac-3-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)hexan-2-one (1) to 3-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)hexan-2-ol (2) diastereomers by more than 20 yeasts was studied. Reduction of carbonyl group in 1 proceeds with a high Re-face enantioselectivity: Candida guillermondii (989% e.e.), C. zeylanoides (>99.9%) and Kloeckera apiculata (99.6%), respectively and the (R)- 1 enantiomer usually reacted faster. The enantioselectivity was determined by GC on chiral cyclodextrine phases and absolute configurations of products were assigned by NMR spectroscopy and a chemical correlation.
