Abstract

The influence of aerobic and anaerobic conditions on the enzymatic reduction of 2-substituted cyclohexanones by Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. The investigation resulted in the synthesis of cis-(1S,2S)- and trans-(1S,2R)-enantiomers as the major components in the respective cis- and transisomers of 2-substituted cyclohexanols obtained. Changes between aerobic and anaerobic conditions did not affect the stereochemical course of the biotransformation with respect to the stereochemistry of the major components of the alcohols.
