Abstract
Treatment of baker's yeast with phenacyl chloride in an aqueous–organic solvent has been proven to be an effective method of inhibiting the enzymes that afford (S)-enantiomers of α- hydroxy esters in the reduction of α-keto esters. The procedure is effective for the whole-cell system to produce the (R)-product with high chemical yield and high enantiomeric excess.
