The asymmetric reduction of symmetrical and nonsymmetrical diketones as well as the stereoselective oxidation of various diols by biocatalytic hydrogen transfer was investigated by employing lyophilized cells of Rhodococcus ruber DSM 44541 containing alcohol dehydrogense ADH-'A'. Symmetrical and nonsymmetrical diketones at the (ω-1)- and (ω-2)-positions are reduced to the Prelog product with high stereopreference, while sterically more demanding ketone moieties, for example those at the (ω-3)-position, remain unchanged. For the oxidation mode, differentiation between primary and secondary alcohols is achieved, and the (S)-configured secondary alcohols at the (ω-1)- and (ω-2)-positions are oxidized preferentially.

The thermodynamically controlled β-hydroxy ketones are mostly formed during the aldol condensation of ketones with aldehydes in the presence of alkali.The importance of considering the intramolecular hydrogen bonds was confirmed during conformational analysis of the isomeric mixtures of β-diols produced by the reduction of the β-hydroxy ketones.
