To synthesize (R)-terbutaline hydrochloride, a potent β2-adrenoceptor-stimulating agent, asymmetric reduction of a substituted α-chloroacetophenone derivative with cultured whole-cell biocatalyst of the yeast Williopsis californica JCM 3600 was developed as the key reaction. The reduction proceeded by a si-facial attack of hydride in a highly enantioselective manner. Co-factor generation was enhanced by applying glycerol as the carbon source.

► Towards (R)-terbutalin, asymmetric reduction of a chloroketone was examined.
► Reduction with Williopsis californica proceeded by a si-facial hydride attack.
► In the reduction, co-factor generation was enhanced by glycerol as the carbon source.
► Substrate was easily provided by lipase-catalyzed deprotection of an intermediate.
