Abstract
Recent developments of biocatalytic reduction of carbonyl groups are reviewed. Methods to find, prepare and modify the biocatalysts and to improve productivity and enantioselectivity of the reactions are explained. Then, practical applications for the asymmetric reduction of carbonyl compounds with various functionalities are given, including the synthesis of pharmaceutically important compounds.
