Scheme 2.

Scheme 2

The stereoselectivity inversion in the formation of alcohol 1b based on the type of solvent used. (a) Baker’s yeast cells showed a high stereoselectivity towards the (R) enantiomer when some amount of water was mixed with the DES (choline chloride:glycerol 1:2 mol/mol). (b) A high (S)-enantioselectivity was obtained when pure water was used with that biocatalyst.
