Asymmetric reduction of symmetrical diacetylaromatics (1a, 1b, and 1d-g) with baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) provided the corresponding alcohols of high enantiomeric purity. By choosing appropriate reaction conditions, the products were preferentially the monoalcohols over the diols. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
