摘要 |
A process for the enantioselective reduction of compounds having a steroid structure (ABCD) including one or several heteroatoms, one or several double bonds and/or aromatic components in the ring structure and having at least one oxo group at positions 3, 7, 11, 12 or 17 in the steroid ring system or in the a-position of any carbon moiety of the steroid structure: comprising providing the oxosteroid compound in the reaction at a concentration of ≧50 g/L, a reduced cofactor NADH or NADPH, a hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and a secondary alcohol or cycloalknaol to effect the enantioselective reduction. |
