Abstract

Immobilized cells ofDaucus carota enantioselectively transformed aromatic ketones such as acetophenone and propiophenone, into the corresponding (S)-alcohols with an optical purity of 89–99% ee in a chemical yield of 54–70%. ImmobilizedGardenia jasminoides cells yielded the (R)-alcohols with a 63–91% ee.
