I found the field of Chemistry very interesting. Saw the article Production of enantiopure chiral aryl heteroaryl carbinols using whole-cell Lactobacillus paracasei biotransformation published in 2020.0. COA of Formula: C12H9NO, Reprint Addresses Sahin, E (corresponding author), Bayburt Univ, Dept Food Engn, Fac Engn, TR-69000 Bayburt, Turkey.. The CAS is 91-02-1. Through research, I have a further understanding and discovery of Phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methanone
Aryl and heteroaryl chiral carbinols are useful precursors in the synthesis of drugs. Lactobacillus paracasei BD87E6, which is obtained from a cereal based fermented beverage, was investigated as whole cell biocatalyst for the bioreduction of different ketones (including aromatic, hetero-aromatic and fused bicyclic ketone) into chiral carbinols, which can be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate. The study shows that bioreduction of aryl, heteroaryl and fused bicyclic ketone (1-5) to their corresponding chiral carbinols (1a-5a) in excellent enantioselectivity (>99%) with high yields. This study gave the first example for an enantiopure production of (S)-6-chlorochroman-4-ol (3a), which has many antioxidant activity, by a biological method. For asymmetric bioreduction of other prochiral ketones, these results open way to use of L. paracasei BD87E6 as biocatalysts. Also, the present process shows a hopeful and alternative green synthesis for the production of enantiopure carbinols in a mild, inexpensive and environmentally friendly process.
