Forty microorganisms belonging to different taxonomical groups were used to catalyze the enantioselective reduction of ethyl 2‐oxophenylbutyrate to afford the corresponding ethyl 2‐hydroxy‐4‐phenylbutyrate. Several microorganisms led to over 99% ee of ethyl ( S )‐2‐hydroxy‐4‐phenylbutyrate. Especially, we firstly found that the Candida boidinii CIOC21 could be effectively used for the enantioselective preparation the ethyl ( R )‐2‐hydroxy‐4‐phenylbutyrate in pure aqueous medium with 99% ee , a key intermediate in the production of angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.
