The baker's yeast mediated reduction of sulphur-functionalised methacroleins 11, 15 and 18 leads to the preparation of the bifunctional methyl branched C4 chiral synthons 6 and 7. The stereochemical aspects of the biohydrogenation have been investigated. Both the oxidation state of sulphur and the isomeric position of the double bond affected the enantioselectivity of the reduction strongly, thus, offering access to the two enantiomeric forms of 6 and 7.

4-Hydroxymethyl-2,4-pentadienoate was effectively synthesized and used for a synthetic entry to keto bridged bicyclo [n.3.1] alkanones and for the synthesis of a 12-membered macrodilide characterized by two trans double bonds, part of two vinylogous α-met
