The biocatalytic synthesis of (R)-1,2-diphenylethanol ((R)-2), which can be utilized as a precursor to important drugs, is still not at the desired level in terms of substrate amount and production process. This study asymmetrically reduced 1,2-diphenylethanone (1) using the Lactobacillus paracasei BD87E6 biocatalyst and a novel orthogonal quadratic design-embedded optimization approach. The following reaction optimization conditions were determined using the suggested optimization technique: pH = 6, temperature = 31 °C, incubation period = 48 h, and agitation speed=134 rpm. In addition, the reaction conversion was estimated to be 99.38 %, and the product's enantiomeric excess (ee) was estimated to be 99.12 %. Further, (R)-2 was produced with &gt;99 % ee, &gt;99 % conversion, and 98 % yield in the experimental investigation under the established optimum conditions. This study is the first attempt to reduce substrate 1 to (R) or (S)-2 using a mathematical optimization method in the presence of a biocatalyst. Furthermore, on a high-gram scale, 1 (15.70 g) was entirely transformed into (R)-2 (15.54 g, 98 % isolated yield). Notably, this study is also the first to perform the gram-scale production of (R)-2 using a novel optimization approach and a biocatalyst. Finally, the innovative and novel orthogonal quadratic design-embedded optimization technique has been demonstrated as an efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly biocatalytic procedure for synthesizing (R)-2.</dc:description><dc:publisher>Elsevier B.V.</dc:publisher><dc:date>2024</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/bayburt/11638</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mcat.2024.114257</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>2468-8231</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>Molecular Catalysis</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://bayburt-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/bayburt/11638</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
