Microbiological reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones was studied.Variously substituted cyclopentenones, cyclohexenones, and methylalkenones were reduced by Beauveria sulfurescens under low-aeration conditions.The reaction takes place only with a small substituent in the α-position and hydrogen in the β-position.The saturated ketone is always obtained, sometimes accompanied by saturated alcohol.Yields and optical purities of the products are excellent.
