The asymmetric bioreduction of C=C‐bonds bearing an electron‐withdrawing group, such as an aldehyde, ketone, imide, nitro, carboxylic acid, or ester moiety by a novel enoate reductase from Zymomonas mobilis and Old Yellow Enzymes OYE 1–3 from yeasts furnished the corresponding saturated products in up to >99 % ee . Depending on the substrate type, stereocontrol was achieved by variation of the substrate structure, by switching the ( E / Z ) geometry of the alkene or by choice of the appropriate enzyme. This substrate‐ orenzyme‐based stereocontrol allowed access to the opposite enantiomeric products.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
