enzymic decarboxylation of @-keto carboxylates, as shown in Scheme I. When incubated with racemates of 2-oxocyclohexanecarboxylate (1) or 2-methyl-3-oxobutyrate (2), AAD catalyzes the selective decarboxylation of (-)-1, leaving behind (+)-1, and (+)-2, leaving behind (-)-2.6 We have assigned the stereochemistries of the reactive enantiomers by determining the absolute configurations of the unreacted antipodes
