General description

4′-Methoxyacetophenone undergoes biocatalytic enantioselective reduction using immobilized Rhodotorula sp. AS2.2241 cells to yield (S)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl) ethanol in a hydrophilic ionic liquid-containing co-solvent system.

Application

4′-Methoxyacetophenone was used to study ruthenium catalyzed step growth copolymerization of 4′-methoxyacetophenone with α,ω-dienes to yield copolymers. It was used to determine the activity of various ketones approved as food additives against Clostridium Botulinum spores and cells.

The biocatalytic enantioselective reduction of 4'-methoxyacetophenone to (S)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethanol was successfully conducted in a hydrophilic IL-containing co-solvent system using immobilized Rhodotorula sp. AS2.2241 cells. Of all the tested ILs, the best results were observed with the novel IL 1-(2'-hydroxy)ethyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate (C(2)OHMIM.NO(3))
