Abstract

Abstract The reduction of cyclic and acyclic 1, 2-diketones was investigated by employing whole cells of the yeast Rhodotorula minuta as biocatalyst. The reactions showed a variable degree of regio-and enantioselectivity depending on the nature of the substrate. In the case of cyclic diketones, the reduction afforded a mixture of diastereomeric diols only. The reduction of acyclic diketones allowed production of both the hydroxy ketone and the diol, ...
