A versatile chemical-microbiological approach has been developed for the preparation of chiral a-hydroxy aldehydes via stereoselective reduction of the corresponding a-keto thioacetals or via optical resolution of the racemic a-acetoxy esters. As part of our continued interest in the preparation of
## Microbial enantioselective hydrolysis of diethyl-3-hydroxyglutarate afforded (S)-ethyl hydrogen-3_hydroxyglutarate, which was transformed into (R)-4-amino-3-hydroxybutyric acid and L-carnitine, via a Curtius and Hunsdiecker rearrangement, respectively.
