Enantioselective reduction of 2-allyl-2-carboethoxy-cyclopentanone (2) was accomplished in high enantiomeric excess (> 99%), using baker's yeast in the presence of CuO, to obtain the (+)-2-allyl-2carboethoxycyclopentanol derivative (6). This methodology also provides an entry to corresponding p-keto
## Abstract Bioreduction of 3‐substituted‐2‐oxoal‐kanephosphonates by baker's yeast afforded 3‐substituted‐2‐hydroxy‐alkanephosphonates in moderate to good yields and ee value. These compounds could serve as useful chirons for the stereoselective synthesis of phosphorus analogs of biologically acti
