Abstract
Oxidation of the prochiral cyclobutanones 1-5 using Acinetobacter calcoaceticus NCIMB 9871 and Pseudomonas putida NCIMB 10007 monooxygenases (MO1 and MO2) furnishes the corresponding lactones 6-10 in moderate to excellent yield and enantiomeric purity. These enzymes show enantiocomplementarity in all but one case.
