Sažetak
Biotransformations are a worthy alternative when trying to substitute a conventional chemical reaction by a greener method in organic chemistry. There are numerous chemical and biological methodologies available to obtain chiral alcohols. Asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones is one of the most important and practical reaction for producing chiral alcohols which can be transformed into various functionalities, to synthesize industrially important chemicals such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, pheromones, flavors, fragrances and industrial fine chemicals. In the last decade various examples of reduction of prochiral ketones to chiral alcohols are reported directly using parts of plants as biocatalyst. Here we report the results of reduction of acetophenone analogues by pea (Pisum sativum) and beans (Phaseolus vulgaris).
