Abstract

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. ...
