✦ Synopsis


1,2_Bis(hydroxymethyl)ferrocene was oxidized by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase preferentially to (lR, 2S)-(hydroxymethyl)aldehyd, while 1,2_diformylferrocene was reduced to the (12, 2!)-antipode, The usefulness of enzymes as catalysts for asymmetric synthesis has been widely recognized.
