β¦ Synopsis
Two kinds of novel nitroalkene reductases were isolated from baker's yeast. Reduction of a trisubstituted nitroalkene by these reductases afforded the corresponding nitroalkane with excellent enantioselectivity, moderate diastereoselectivity, and in good yield.

A novel carbon-carbon double-bond reductase was isolated from the cells of baker's yeast. The reduction of c~,[~-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by this enzyme affords the corresponding saturated (S)-ketones selectively.
