Procedure

As shown here, the biochemical conversion reaction of immobilized green pea protein for the substrate (±)-1-phenylethanol (201 mg) requires 6 days by going through bioconversion to acetophenone accompanying sterically selective oxidation of (R)-1-phenylethanol to obtain 122 mg of (S)-1-phenylethanol at a yield of 61%. Optical purity was obtained at 98% e.e.
