Abstract—The reduction of (RS)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-l, 5-benzothiazepin-3,4(2H,5H)-dione[(RS)-1] to (2S,3S)-2,3-dihydro-3-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-l,5-benzothiaepin- 4(5H)-one using bakers’ yeast was carried out in the laboratory scale 10L fermenter. Under optimum reaction conditions, 200g of substrate was reduced to desired chiral intermediate in 4L reaction volume with 79.33% of conversion within 89h. The optimum conditions for the effective reduction were at pH 6.5 and at 30°C temperature. The crystals of desired isomer were isolated from the reaction mixture with the total yield of 42%, having 95.42% of assay purity with 99.80% of enantiomeric excess.

Index Terms—Asymmetric reduction, bakers’ yeast,bioconversion, diltizem hydrochloride.
