Enzymatic gas‐phase reactions are usually performed in continuous reactors, and thus very stable and active catalysts are required to perform such transformations on cost‐effective levels. The present work is concerned with the reduction of gaseous acetophenone to enantiomerically pure ( R)‐1‐phenylethanol catalyzed by solid alcohol dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus brevis (LBADH), immobilized onto glass beads. Initially, the catalyst preparation displayed a half‐life of 1 day under reaction conditions at 40 °C and at a water activity of 0.5. It was shown that the observed decrease in activity is due to a degradation of the enzyme itself (LBADH) and not of the co‐immobilized cofactor NADP. By the addition of sucrose to the cell extract before immobilization of the enzyme, the half‐life of the catalyst preparation (at 40 °C) was increased 40 times. The stabilized catalyst preparation was employed in a continuous gas‐phase reactor at different temperatures (25–60 °C). At 50 °C, a space‐time yield of 107 g/L/d was achieved within the first 80 h of continuous reaction.
