Abstract
A highly enantioselective oxidation of benzhydrylsulfanyl acetic acid to the corresponding (S)-sulfinyl carboxylic acid was achieved employing the fungus Beauveria bassiana in very good yield. This product was amidated using the bacteria Bacillus subtilis to afford (S)- modafinil in good yield.
