The use of purified and overexpressed alcohol dehydrogenases to synthesize enantiopure fluorinated alcohols is shown. When the bioreductions were performed with ADH-A from Rhodococcus ruber overexpressed in E. coli, no external cofactor was necessary to obtain the enantiopure (R)-derivatives. Employing Lactobacillus brevis ADH, it was possible to achieve the synthesis of enantiopure (S)-fluorohydrins at a 0.5 M substrate concentration. Furthermore, due to the activated character of these substrates, a huge excess of the hydrogen donor was not necessary.
Asymmetric reduction using (R)-MeCBS and determination of absolute configuration of para-substituted 2-fluoroarylethanols

The asymmetric reduction of eight α-fluoroacetophenones has been investigated using (R)-MeCBS as a catalyst in various media. Based on a solvent screen, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diethyl ether and dichloromethane were used in reductions of the α-fluoroacetophe
