Procedure

The asymmetric reduction of ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate was carried out by using this reductase (1). Namely, 4 ml of the reaction mixture containing the reductase (1) (2U), NADPH (0.8 μmol), ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate (100 μmol, 16 mg), phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.0, 400 μmol), glucose dehydrogenase [manufactured by Sigma, Co., U.S.A.; 2U (wherein 1U is defined as the amount of the enzyme which reduces 1 μmol of NADP+ per 1 minute in the presence of glucose)] and glucose (100 μmol) was incubated at 30° C. with gentle shaking to promote the enzymatic reaction. After 6 hour-incubation, the reaction mixture was extracted according to the same manner as in Example 3. The extract was analyzed by gas chromatography described in Example 1. As a result, the yield of the cis isomer was 15.9 mg (reduction yield >99%), and neither the remaining substrate nor the trans isomer was detected. On the other hand, the extract above was distilled off according to the the same manner as in Example 3 to obtain the reduction product, ethyl 2-hydroxycyclopentane-carboxylate. The resulting reduction product was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography as described in Example 1. As a result, only the cis 2 isomer was detected and no other isomers were detected.
