The conversion of 2-phenoxyethanol to phenol and acetate by the anaerobic bacterium Acetobacterium sp. strain LuPhet1 proceeds through acetaldehyde with concomitant migration of a H-atom from C(1) to C(2) of the glycolic moiety. Separate feeding experiments with (R)- and (S)-2-phenoxy(1- 2H)ethanol, prepared via chemoenzymatic syntheses, indicate that the H-atom involved in the 1,2-shift is the pro-S one of the enantiotopic couple of the alcohol function.

Deuterioaldehydes, essential precursors in the preparation of chiral primary deuterioalcohols, have been prepared in yields ranging from 55-75percent via reduction of methyl and ethyl esters at -78 oC with diisobutylaluminum deuteride (DIBAL-D).The stoich
