Screening on the use of Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS 6556 growing cells as enantioselective biocatalyst for ketones reduction

Abstract

Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS 6556 growing cell versatility in the enantioselective reduction of ketone-carbonyl functionality to the corresponding alcohols was exploited. In particular, methyl ketones were reduced to (S)-alcohols with ee up to 96%. Longer chain alkyl ketones afford, in the same experimental condition, (R)-alcohols with ee up to 84%. Interestingly, carbon-carbon double and triple bond of ketones can also be reduced in the presence of Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS 6556 yeast. Endocyclic carbonyl functionality, such as 2-tetralone carbonyl, is also quantitatively reduced to its (S)-alcohol with ee = 76%.
