Abstract

Reductions of (Z)-C6H5CHCXC (O) CH3 (X= Cl, Br) mediated by Pichia stipitis gave 4- phenylbutan-2-one through dehalogenation of intermediaries 3-halo-4-phenylbutan-2-one by an electron transfer mechanism. The addition of 1, 3-dinitrobenzene avoids the dehalogenation and thus the corresponding (2S, 3S)-halohydrins were obtained in excellent enantiomeric excesses by a hydride transfer mechanism. Irganox® 1010 and 1076 were ...
