Asymmetric reduction of ethyl 3-chloro-2-oxooctanoate with baker’s yeast gave ethyl 3-chloro-2-hydroxyoctanoate (3) [(2S,3R)/(2S,3S), 4:1] in 67% yield with >99% e.e. Chlorohydrin (2S,3R)-3 was converted to the titled compound in 34% total yield with 80% e.e. via the reduction, dehydrochlorination, and oxidation, successively. (2R,3R)2,3-Epoxyoctanal was also prepared from (2S,3S)-3 in 33% total yield
用面包酵母不对称还原 3-氯-2-氧代辛酸乙酯得到 3-氯-2-羟基辛酸乙酯 (3) [(2S,3R)/(2S,3S), 4:1],产率 67%,>99 % ee 氯醇(2S,3R)-3通过依次还原、脱氯化氢和氧化以34%的总产率转化为标题化合物,其中80% ee。(2R,3R)2,3-环氧辛醛也由 (2S,3S)-3 制备,总产率为 33%,ee 为 94%
