best choice for the bioreduction of ethyl 2-oxocyclohexylacetate 2e, which afforded cis-(−)-5e and trans-(−)-5e with 98 and 99% e.e., respectively. Reduction of 3-(2-oxocyclohexyl)propionic acid 3e with Pichia glucozyma gave predominantly the corresponding δ-lactone trans-(−)-6e with 94% e.e., whose absolute configuration was determined by means of CD spectroscopy.
一系列酵母被用于脂肪族和芳香族γ-和δ-
酮酸和酯的
生物还原中,以研究通过其相应的γ-和δ-羟基酸和酯的中间体制备对映体纯的γ-和δ-内酯。用刻氏毕赤酵母
生物还原
4-氧代壬酸乙酯2a可得到具有99%ee的γ-
壬醇(+)- 5a,而事实证明,毕赤酵母是2-氧代
环己基乙酸乙酯2e
生物还原的最佳选择,后者可提供顺式-(- )-5e和反式-(-)- 5e的ee分别为98%和99%。还原3-(2-氧代环己基)
丙酸具有
葡糖酵母的3e主要产生具有94%ee的相应的δ-内酯反式-(-)- 6e,其绝对构型是通过CD光谱法确定的。
