NAD(P)+-NAD(P)H Models. 59. 1,2- Versus 1,4-Reduction of β,γ-Unsaturated α-Keto Ester

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.59.2905

Depending on the reactivity of the reducing agent, β,γ-unsaturated α-keto ester is reduced into either β,γ-unsaturated α-hydroxy ester or saturated α-keto ester as the result of 1,2- or 1,4-reduction.
