Abscisic acid (ABA), a plant stress hormone, has a chiral center (C1′) in its molecule, yielding the enantiomers (1′S)-(+)-ABA and (1′R)-(-)-ABA during chemical synthesis. ABA 8′-hydroxylase (CYP707A), which is the major and key P450 enzyme in ABA catabol

Biotransformation of racemic abscisic acid 1a with cultures of Aspergillus niger gives rise to the enantioselective reduction of the (S)-enantiomer to afford the corresponding (1'S,2'R)-(-)-2',3'-dihydro-ABA acid 2a in high enantiomeric excess (e.e.).The structure, stereochemistry, and preferred conformation of compound 2a have been elucidated on the basis of NMR evidence.
