Abstract
A novel method for producing optically active 1, 2-diols by microbial Stereoinversion was developed. It was found that some microorganisms could convert only (R)-1, 2-pentanediol in the racemate to the (S)-enantiomer. Candida parapsilosis produced 27.9 g/l of (S)-1, 2- pentanediol from 30 g/l of the racemate in 24 hr of reaction (molar yield 93%, enantiomeric excess 100%). This Stereoinversion proceeded via oxidation of (R)-1, 2-pentanediol to 1- ...
