Reference Reading

1. High-yield conversion of (r)-2-octanol from the corresponding racemate by stereoinversion using candida rugosa.

Xiao Qing Mu, Yan Xu, Juan Jiang, Zhi Hao Sun, Yan Tang, Yao Nie. Biotechnol Lett. 2005 Jan; 27(1): 23-6. DOI: 10.1007/s10529-004-6310-1. PMID: 15685415.

Whole cells of Candida rugosa catalyzed the conversion of (R)-2-octanol from the corresponding racemate with the optical purity of 97% e.e. and yield of 92% in 10 h. The product was formed through a stereoinversion involving enantioselective oxidation and asymmetric reduction with 2-octanone as the intermediate.
