Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the enantioselective enzymatic reduction of keto compounds, in particular of 4-halo-3-oxobutyric acid esters, to the corresponding R-alcohols or S-4-halo-3-hydroxybutyric acid esters, respectively, using an R-specific oxidoreductase in the presence of a cofactor.
