Abstract
Reduction of acetophenone by Daucus carota</i> hairy root cultures afforded (S</i>)-phenylethanol in high yield (96%) and excellent enantiomeric excess (ee ≥ 98%). Aromatic ketones, keto esters, and a simple aliphatic ketone were reduced with good stereoselectivity (ee = 62–98%) and moderate to high chemical yields (25–90%).
