Efficient Biocatalytic Preparation of Optically Pure (<i>R</i>)-1-[4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanol by Recombinant Whole-Cell-Mediated Reduction

(<i>R</i>)-1-[4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanol is an important pharmaceutical intermediate of a chemokine CCR5 antagonist. In the present study, a bioprocess for the asymmetric reduction of 4-(trifluoromethyl)acetophenone to (<i>R</i>)-1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]ethanol wa...
