Abstract

The bakers' yeast reduction of (trifluoroacetyl) biphenyl derivatives produces (R)- trifluoromethyl biphenylyl carbinols in high enantioselectivity, whereas the reduction of the same derivatives with Geotrichum candidum acetone powder gives the corresponding (S)- carbinols in excellent yields and enantioselectivity.
