Yeast reduction of methyl tetrahydro-4-oxo-2H-thiopyran-3-carboxylate (5) led to the β-hydroxy ester 6 of 98percent diastereomeric and ca. 85percent enantiomeric purity. 6 was converted into enantiomerically pure anti-4-methyl-3-heptanol (4) and via the key intermediate 11 into enantiomerically pure anhydroserricornin (3).
