MICROBIAL REDUCTION OF 2-PHENYLPROPIONIC ACID, 2-BENZYLOXYPROPIONIC ACID AND 2-(2-FURFURYL)PROPIONIC ACID

Racemic 2-phenylpropionic acid and 2-benzyloxypropionic acid were subjected to microbial reduction and simultaneous resolution with several molds. i. e., Malus and Prunus strains of Glomerella cingulata, Gloeosporium olivarum and Gloeosporium laeticolor, yielding (R)-2-phenylpropanol and (S)-2-benzyloxypropanol , and leaving (R)-2-phenylpropionic acid , respectively.The microbial reduction of racemic 2-(2-furfuryl)propionic acid gave optically inactive (+/-)-2-(2-furfuryl)propanol .Keywords- asymetric reduction; 2-benzyloxypropionic acid; 2-(2-furfuryl)prioionic acid; microbial reduction; microbial resolution; 2-phenylpropionic acid
