Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)60975-9

An enzymatic method for obtaining optically active α-substituted acyclic ketones is described. Pichia farinosa IAM 4682, a kind of yeast, hydrolyzed enol esters of sulfur-containing cyclic ketone with differentiation of the enantiotopic face. The resultin
