ENATIOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF KETONES BY MICROORGANISMS TO FORM SECONDARY ALCOHOLS IN PARTICULAR FOR SYNTHESIS OF RENIN INHIBITORS

摘要

A process for the enantioselective reduction of keto compounds to secondary alcohols with the aid of microorganisms comprises using compounds of the formula I… R<3>HN-CHR<1>-CO-CH2-COOR<2>… in which R<1>, R<2> and R<3> have the meanings stated in Claim 1, as starting compounds.
