Abstract
Whole cells of Nocardia corallina B-276 oxidized diaryl carbinols enantioselectively to give ketones in moderate yields, and some of the unreacted alcohols showed high ee's. This asymmetric oxidation is a simple and efficient method for preparing meta- and para-monosubstituted optically active diaryl carbinols from the racemates. The para-substituted chiral alcohols have an R configuration.
