Racemic secondary esters 1-3, γ-lactones 8-9, and styrene oxide 7 are kinetically resolved via hydrolysis with Yarrowia lipolytica YL2 strain. The enantioselective hydrolysis of prochiral enol esters 4-6 to the corresponding homochiral carbonyl compounds 13-15 is also described. Subsequent reduction of the ketone 13 and of the aldehyde 15 can be avoided using lyophilised cells.
Anti-Markovnikov Addition of Nucleophiles to a Non-conjugated Olefin via Single Electron Transfer Photochemistry

Nucleophilic solvent has been added regiospecifically in an anti-Markovnikov manner to a simple non-conjugated olefin, 1-methylcyclohexene, through single electron transfer induced photochemistry using the 1-cyanonaphthalene - biphenyl pair for achieving photooxidation.
