The conversion of 2-phenoxyethanol to phenol and acetate by the anaerobic bacterium Acetobacterium sp. strain LuPhet1 proceeds through acetaldehyde with concomitant migration of a H-atom from C(1) to C(2) of the glycolic moiety. Separate feeding experiments with (R)- and (S)-2-phenoxy(1- 2H)ethanol, prepared via chemoenzymatic syntheses, indicate that the H-atom involved in the 1,2-shift is the pro-S one of the enantiotopic couple of the alcohol function.

(Benzyloxy)acetaldehyde (4) was reduced to give (S)-(+)-2-(benzyloxy)ethanol (5) by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase/NAD+/EtOH.This chiral alcohol was transformed into (R)- and (S)-(2-aminoethyl)phosphonic acid (AEP) (13).The enantiomer
