Rhizopus arrhizus-mediated microbial reduction of various aryl alkyl ketones afforded chiral carbinols in good yields and high enantiomeric purity. The most striking feature was the formation of the anti-Prelog (R)-alcohols with the benzyl alkyl ketones, while the other ketones ArXCOR (X = (CH 2)n, n = 0 or 2, OCH2 or SCH2 and R = Me/Et/n-Bu) furnished (S)-alcohols.
