The present study demonstrated the ability of Ximenia american as a biocatalyst in reduction, hydrolysis and esterification reactions. The reduction reactions of aldehydes and ketones, ester hydrolysis and esterification of alcohols were carried out with interesting results. Reduction of ketones afforded yields of 6–60% with ee in the range of 35–>99% and that of aldehydes in yields of 51–99%. On the other hand, ester hydrolysis afforded yields of 58–98% with ee in the range 34–87%, while esterification of alcohols in 18–99% yields. Experimental conditions for all reactions have been defined using standard substrates as indicated in results and discussion. Some of the products are the potential building blocks for the synthesis of molecules which are of pharmaceutical and agrochemical importance.

The stereoselective synthesis of (2S,3S,7S)-3,7-dimethylpentadecan-2-ol (diprionol) and its propionate, the sex pheromones of pine sawflies (Neodiprion sp. and other), in high enantiomeric purity was achieved from (1R,3S)-2,2-dichloro-3-methylcyclopropane
Lentinus strigellus: a new versatile stereoselective biocatalyst for the bioreduction of prochiral ketones

Growing cells of the basiodiomycete Lentinus strigellus in potato-dextrose broth have been used for the first time as a biocatalyst in the stereoselective reduction of aromatic and aliphatic ketones. Most of the aromatic ketones were converted into the corresponding optically active alcohols in up to >99% enantiomeric excess under very mild reaction conditions. Among the aliphatic ketones tested, 2-octanone was enzymatically reduced by this microorganism to enantiopure (S)-2-octanol with almost complete conversion.
