The present work reports the  Metschnikowia koreensis -catalyzed one-pot deracemization of secondary alcohols/1,2-diols and their derivatives with in vivo cofactor regeneration. Reaction is stereoselective and proceeds with sequential oxidation of ( R )-secondary alcohols to the corresponding ketones and the reduction of the ketones to ( S )-secondary alcohols. Method is applicable to a repertoire of racemic aryl secondary alcohols and 1,2-diols establishing a wide range of substrate specificity of  M. koreensis . This ecofriendly method afforded the product in high yield (88%) and excellent optical purity (>98%  ee ), minimizing the requirement of multistep reaction and expensive cofactor.
