Demonstration of Redox Potential of Metschnikowia koreensis for Stereoinversion of Secondary Alcohols/1,2-Diols

The present work reports the Metschnikowia koreensis-catalyzed one-pot deracemization of secondary alcohols/1,2-diols and their derivatives with in vivo cofactor regeneration. Reaction is stereoselective and proceeds with sequential oxidation of (R)-secondary alcohols to the corresponding ketones an...
