Aromatic acylsilanes [Ar-CO-SiMe3; Ar = C6H5,4-ClC6H4, 2-, 3- and 4-OMeC6H4, 3,4-(OMe)2C6H3 and 3,4-OCH2OC6H3] were reduced by baker's yeast to optically active a-silyl alcohols in 20-70% yield and 43-88% ee. Comments are made on the influence of silicon in this bioreduction reaction. The Royal Society of Chemistry 1999.
