Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention discloses a method for preparing optically active alcohols by catalytically reducing aromatic ketones in yeast cells, which belongs to the technical field of preparing optically active alcohols by biocatalysis. Background technique
[0002] Optically active alcohols are important intermediates for the synthesis of chiral compounds such as chiral drugs, pesticides, and food additives. The asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones by chemical methods is an important way to prepare optically active alcohols. However, with the gradual depletion of ore resources and the increasing environmental pollution, the current biotransformation technology with the characteristics of high efficiency, specificity and green energy saving is in the market. Applications in asymmetric synthesis are gaining more and more attention. Microbial cells contain many stereoselective enzymes. Using the whole cell to catalyze the asymmetric reduction of prochiral keto...
