The stereoselective preparation of β-hydroxy esters using a yeast reduction in an organic solvent
摘要:
A range of (S)-beta-hydroxy esters has been prepared in high yield (56-96%) and with very high enantioselectivity (>94%) using a yeast mediated reduction in light petroleum. It was found that the ester functionality had a marked effect on both the isolated yield and the quantity of yeast required to effect complete reduction. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
