Microbial resolution and asymmetric reduction related to optically active 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-diol

Abstract
An efficient microbial resolution of 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-diol (4) has been achieved by exposing the corresponding diacetate to Trichoderma viride; a reductive cleavage of chiral acetals (6) derived from (4) with hydride reagent (Br2AlH, Cl2AlH) affords optically active alcohols (8) of high enantiomeric purities.
