Asymmetric reduction of β-ketonitriles with a recombinant carbonyl reductase and enzymatic transformation to optically pure β-hydroxy carboxylic acids

α-Ethylation is concomitant with the reduction of aromatic β-ketonitriles catalyzed by whole-cell biocatalysts. Use of isolated carbonyl reductase has completely eliminated this competing reaction. (R)-β-Hydroxy nitriles were obtained via a reduction cata

Transfer hydrogenation in water: Enantioselective, catalytic reduction of α-cyano and α-nitro substituted acetophenones

Catalytic reduction of α-substituted acetophenones under conditions involving asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in water is described. The reaction is conducted in water and open to air, and formic acid is used as reductant.
