We have investigated the microbial Baeyer−Villiger oxidations of pentalenones by recombinant whole cells expressing cyclohexanone monooxygenase from Acinetobacter and cyclopentanone monooxygenase from Pseudomonas . The two enzymes display a distinguishable enantiodivergent trend in the biotransformation of some prochiral substrates. A significant influence of the conformation of the fused‐ring system and the polarity of the substituents on the conversion and enantioselectivity of the microbial oxidations was observed and is discussed.
