Abstract
Asymmetric transformation of enones was investigated with cultured cells of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 (a cyanobacterium). The cells reduced both the endocyclic C–C double bond of s-trans enones and the exocyclic C–C double bond of s-cis enones with high enantioselectivity to afford optically active α-substituted (S)-ketones under illumination. In addition, the reduction of the double bond of these enones was accompanied by the ...
