The effects have been evaluated of up to 30% (v/v) of methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, tert-butylalcohol, dimethylsulfoxide, sulfolane, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphoramide, tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxymethane, diglyme, and dioxane on horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed reduction of the representative ketone cyclohexanone. The most viable solvents are those shown in italics on the above list.

The effects have been evaluated of up to 50% (v/v) of methanol, tert-butyl alcohol, dimethylsulfoxide, sulfolane, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, hexamethylphosphoramide, acetone, 2-butanone, tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxyethane, diglyme, and dioxane on horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH)-catalyzed oxidation of the representative alcohol substrate cyclohexanol. With the exception of dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylformamide, all solvents tested are suitable for use as cosolvents with HLADH in the oxidative and reductive directions.

Preparative-scale horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of mesoexo- and endo-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane diols provides a direct one-step route to enantiomerically pure chiral γ-lactones of the oxabicyclic series.
