✦ Synopsis


Various microorganisms can be used to reduce ketoimidazole 3 to hydroxyimidazole 4. contrast, Only one enantiomer (i.e., (R)-4) is produced. In ketoimidazolium salt 2 is not reduced uiider identical conditions.

The importance of racemic imidazolium salt 1 as an active Class III antiarrhythmic agent' prompted us to investigate syntheses of its' enantiomers. One possible route would be via the microbiological reduction of ketoimidazolium salt 2 to give (R)-1 and/or (S)-1 (eq. 1).
