Method for producing alcohols free of enantiomers

A process for preparing enantiomerically pure alcohols of the formula I (Ia or Ib)where the substituents have the following meanings:R1hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy or C1-C6-alkanoyl,R2 and R3independently of one another hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted C...

Zusammenfassung:A process for preparing enantiomerically pure alcohols of the formula I (Ia or Ib)where the substituents have the following meanings:R1hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy or C1-C6-alkanoyl,R2 and R3independently of one another hydrogen or substituted or unsubstituted C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy, C1-C6-alkanoyl, C1-C6-alkylthio, C1-C6-alkylsulfinyl or C1-C6-alkylsulfonyl,R4substituted or unsubstituted C1-C6-alkyl, C3-C8-cycloalkyl,which comprises reducing compounds of the formula II where the substituents R1 to R4 have the abovementioned meanings in aqueous solution in the presence of a carbon source and of a microorganism or of a reducing agent, of a cofactor and of an enzyme, to compounds of the formula I.
