Abstract
Abstract Enantiotopic selective reduction of 1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanones 1a – d , 1-(benzofuran-2-yl)-2-hydroxyethanones 4a – c and 2-acetoxy-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanones 3a – c was performed by baker's yeast for preparation of optically active (benzofuran-2-yl)carbinols [( S )- 5a – d , ( S )- 6a – c and ( R )- 6a – c , enantiomeric excess from 55 to 93% ee].
