Three benzo-2-tetralones were hydrogenated to the corresponding alcohols by non-fermenting baker's yeast. Satisfactory yields but modest enantioselectivities were observed. The prevalent enantioform of the benzo- 2-tetralol was found to be in agreement with the predictive abstract model previously proposed for the enzymatic hydrogenation of aromatic ring substituted 2-tetralones.
