Baker's yeast reduction of β-hydroxy ketones

Reduction of β-hydroxy ketones to the corresponding 1,3-diols by baker's yeast was investigated, in order to develop methods for simultaneous control over the configurations of multiple stereogenic centres. The reactions were found to be enantiospecific a

A chemo-enzymatic route to diastereoisomers of 2-methyl-1-phenyl-1,3-butanediol: the dual role of microorganisms

Diastereoisomers (1S,2R,3S)-, (1R,2R,3S)-, (1R,2S,3S)- and (1S,2S,3S)-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1,3-butanediols were prepared by simple and convenient strategies using two different chemo-enzymatic approaches for the reduction of racemic 2-methyl-1-phenyl-1,3-but
