The asymmetric reduction of hydrophobic phenyl-ring-containing ketones and the enantiospecific kinetic resolution of the corresponding racemic alcohols catalyzed by Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus W110A secondary alcohol dehydrogenase were performed in mono- and biphasic systems containing either organic solvents or ionic liquids. Both yield and enantioselectivity for these transformations can be controlled by changing the reaction medium. The enzyme showed high tolerance to both water-miscible and -immiscible solvents, which allows biotransformations to be conducted at high substrate concentrations.
