Abstract

Abstract The fungus Mortierella isabellina converts ethyl benzene and a number of parasubstituted derivatives to the corresponding optically active 1-phenylethanols with enantiomeric excesses between 5 and 40%. Hydrogen removal from the substrate preceeds product formation and is stereochemically independent of it.
