Abstract

A novel method for total conversion of racemic mandelic acid into its (R)-enantiomer was developed. The method consists of enantioselective oxidation of (S)-(+)-mandelic acid by Alcaligenes bronchisepticus KU 1201 and NADH-dependent asymmetric reduction of resulting benzoylformic acid to (R)-mandelic acid with cell-free extract of Streptococcus faecalis IFO 12964.
