THE MECHANISTIC PATHWAY OF THE BIOTRANSFORMATION OF ACETOPHENONE BY IMMOBILIZED CELL CULTURES OF GARDENIA

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0031-9422(00)95089-1

Immobilized cells of Gardenia jasminoides enantioselectively transformed acetophenone into the corresponding (R)-alcohol by a two-step pathway involving initial reduction of the aromatic ketone to produce a mixture of (R)- and (S)-α-phenethyl alcohol foll
