A stereochemically promiscuous 2‐keto‐3‐deoxygluconate aldolase has been used as an efficient biocatalyst to catalyse the aldol reaction of pyruvate with C 3 ‐ and C 4 ‐aldoses to afford syn ‐ and anti ‐3‐deoxy‐2‐ulosonic acids in poor to good de . A continuous flow bioreactor containing immobilised aldolase has been developed that enables gram quantities of C 6 ‐ and C 7 ‐3‐deoxyhept‐2‐ulosonic acids to be produced in an efficient manner.
