The baker's yeast reduction of seven different prochiral nitroketones 1a-g occurred on the re face of the carbonyl group, thus affording the (S)-nitroalcohols 2a-g, with different level of enantioselectivity (e.e. 15-99%). The best results (e.e. = 99%) we

Ethyl 4-benzyloxy-3-oxobutanoate (1c) is reduced by fermenting baker's yeast with stereochemical control which is dependent on the yeast: substrate ratio and the presence or absence of ethanol.Contrary to earlier reports, ethyl levulinate (3a) can be ster
