Deracemisation of β-hydroxy esters using immobilised whole cells of Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330: substrate specificity and mechanistic investigation
Deracemisation of aryl substituted β-hydroxy esters by immobilised whole cells of Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330 gave> 99% ee and up to 75% yield of their corresponding (S)- enantiomers. Mechanistic investigation of the deracemisation reaction carried out using a
