Popis: Alcohol dehydrogenase (LSADH) isolated from Leifsonia sp. S749 was used to produce (R)-chiral alcohols. The enzyme with a broad substrate range reduced various prochiral ketones and keto esters to yield optically active secondary alcohols with a high enantiomeric excess. LSADH transferred the pro-S hydrogen of NADH to the carbonyl moiety of phenyl trifluoromethyl ketone 13 through its re face to give (S)-1-phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethanol 40. LSADH was able to efficiently reproduce NADH when 2-propanol was used as a hydrogen donor in the reaction mixture.
