Abstract
Rhizopus arrhizus-mediated microbial reduction of various aryl alkyl ketones afforded chiral carbinols in good yields and high enantiomeric purity. The most striking feature was the formation of the anti-Prelog ( R)-alcohols with the benzyl alkyl ketones, while the other ketones ArXCOR (X = (CH 2) n , n = 0 or 2, OCH 2 or SCH 2 and R = Me/Et/ n-Bu) furnished ( S)-alcohols.
