experimental part, p. 1430 - 1434 (2011/10/08)
The catalytic application of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride for efficient acetylation of various types of alcohols and phenols with acetic anhydride in solvent-free conditions is reported. Also structurally diverse alcohols were formylated using formic acid based on the use of catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride under solvent-free condition. The reactions were carried out in short reaction time and in good to excellent yields at room temperature.
Lentinus strigellus: a new versatile stereoselective biocatalyst for the bioreduction of prochiral ketones

Growing cells of the basiodiomycete Lentinus strigellus in potato-dextrose broth have been used for the first time as a biocatalyst in the stereoselective reduction of aromatic and aliphatic ketones. Most of the aromatic ketones were converted into the corresponding optically active alcohols in up to >99% enantiomeric excess under very mild reaction conditions. Among the aliphatic ketones tested, 2-octanone was enzymatically reduced by this microorganism to enantiopure (S)-2-octanol with almost complete conversion.
