Green synthesis of enantiopure (S)-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanol by whole-cell biocatalyst.

In this study, a basic and novel whole-cell mediated biocatalytic method was performed for the enantiopure production of (S)-1-(benzofuran-2-yl)ethanol in the aqueous medium, which empowered the synthesis of a precious chiral intermediary process to be converted into a sophisticated molecule for drug production.
