The Use of Microorganisms in Organic Synthesis. I. Microbiological Asymmetric Reduction of 2-Methyl-3-oxobutyrates

The synthesis of optically active α-methyl β-hydroxy esters I by means of microbiological reduction of the corresponding β-keto esters II was carried out.Benzyl 2-methyl-3-oxobutyrate 1 was found to be reduced by a variety of yeasts to the α-methyl β-hydr
