A poly(acrylic acid)-coated graphite felt electrode immobilizing all bioelectrochemical reaction components of ferrocene, diaphorase, NADH and alcohol dehydrogenase in the domain of the poly(acrylic acid) layer was applied to oxidize electrocatalytically cis-1,2-cyclohexanedimethanol and 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol to (+)-(1R,6S)-cis-8-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]nonan-7-one and (3S)-3-methyl-δ-valerolactone, respectively, in a 0.15 M phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) at the constant potential of 0.45 V vs. SCE with high current efficiency (>92%) and high optical purity (>92%).
