(R)-1-(furan-2-yl)ethanol ((R)-2) can be used precursor in the synthesis of many naturally bioactive piperidine alkaloids such as (−)-Cassine, (−)-Spectaline, (−)-Carnavaline, Prosafrine and (−)- Prosafrinine. Moreover, (R)-2 a key chiral precursor in the production of α, β-unsaturated δ- lactones, which have antifungal, antibiotic, and cytotoxic effects on human tumor cells. However, the synthesis routes of (R)-2 still pose significant challenges in term of unsatisfactory enantiomeric excess (ee) and gram scale synthesis. In this study, Lactobacillus paracasei BD101 biocatalyst from boza, a cereal-based fermented beverage, for the asymmetric bioreduction of the 1-(furan-2-yl)ethanone (1). Following biocatalytic process optimization, (R)-2 was generated with &gt;99% ee and 97% yield. In addition, 9.9 g of 1 was completely converted into (R)-2 on a gram scale (9.78 g, 97% isolated yield) in 48 h. This is the first report about the fabrication of enantiopure (R)-2 in high gram scale using biocatalyst. The optical purity of (R)-2 produced by asymmetric reduction with L paracasei BD101 was also noteworthy since it was the highest documented to date. This study provides an efficient green process for the biocatalytic synthesis of (R)-2.</dc:description><dc:publisher>Elsevier B.V.</dc:publisher><dc:date>2023</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/bayburt/11904</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mcat.2023.113037</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/11904</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
