RSC Advances Pub Date: 2015-10-26 DOI: 10.1039/C5RA18532G

Abstract

A green, simple and high yielding [up to 86% yield] procedure is developed for the oxidation of aromatic (activated) primary alcohols to aldehydes using whole cells of Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330. The biotransformation is carried out under mild conditions at 25 °C, in hexane: water (48?:?2) (v/v).
