The capability of R. mucilaginosa LSL to stereoselectively reduce
small-bulky and bulky-bulky ketones was demonstrated. This biocata-
lyst can operate as resting and lyophilized cells without the addition of
external cofactors resulting in a valuable tool for green chemistry en-
deavors. The KRED responsible of these biotransformations are pro-
mising to be further investigated. Based on these facts, we designed
efficient one-pot chemoenzymatic strategies to synthesize (R)-β-hy-
droxytriazoles. The carbonyl reductase activity of the yeast was not
impaired despite all the chemicals present in the reaction medium. By a
one-pot divergent-convergent process with the appropriate substrate,
we could obtain the desired products in high isolated yields in a very
simple, green, cost-effective and easy-to-handle fashion.
