Abstract
The oxidation of racemic 2-methyl-1-butanol by the soluble alcohol oxidase from Candida boidinii produced an enantiomeric excess of (R)-2-methyl-1-butanol (E = 1.65) as the reaction progressed. This degree of enantioselectivity was not observed with alcohol oxidase isolated from either Hansenula sp. or Pichia pastoris.
