Benzil reductase ((R)-benzoin forming) (EC 1.1.1.321) is an enzyme with systematic name (R)-benzoin:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase.^[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(R)-benzoin + NADP⁺

\rightleftharpoons

benzil + NADPH + H⁺

The bacterial enzyme (Xanthomonas oryzae) enantioselectively reduces one of the two carbonyl groups of benzil to form optically active (R)-benzoin.
