Abstract

Biocatalytic resolution of racemic para‐nitrostyrene oxide was accomplished by employing the epoxide hydrolases from the whole cells of several Aspergillus niger (A. niger) strains. In the cases investigated, excellent selectivity was achieved with such strains as A. niger 5450, A. niger 5320.
