✦ Synopsis
The mrcrobral reduchon of l'-ethylpropyl 2-methyl-3-oxopentanoate, a j3-keto ester possessmg bulky subsutuent, as well as the cormspondmg enol ester was exammed Eprmenc nuxture of hydroxy ester, contammg (2S.3.Qisomer as the major product (9296e e ,43%d e ) was obtamed via the reducuon of enol ester wrth growing cells of Ptchta farmosa IAM 4682 in 63% yreld The resulting p-hydroxy ester was converted to (2$3R)-isomer (889be e ,96%d e ). of which e e was further enhanced by the hpase-catalyzed partial hydrolysis of the correspondmg chloroacetate to give (-)-ntophllate, (998e e , 98%d e ) an aggregauon pheromone of Suophrllus granarlus L

## Diethyl allyln&onates or 2-arylalkanoic esters are prepared in good yield by reductive a-deoxygenation of the corresponding Cr-acetoxy or a-alkoxy esters. Since the intermediate ester enolates are generated under aprotic conditions, a one pot reductive-alkylation is

Enol and vinyl esters were successfully synthesized by the use of an iridium complex as a catalyst. The reaction of carboxylic acid with terminal alkynes in the presence of catalytic amounts of [Ir(cod)Cl] 2 and Na 2 CO 3 gave the corresponding 1-alkenyl esters. The addition of carboxylic acids to a
