✦ Synopsis


Baker's Yeast-Induced Asymmetric Reduction of α-Ketosulfides: Synthesis of Optically Active 1-(Benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-2-alkanols, 2-Alkanols, and Thiiranes. -1-(Benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-2-alkanols are obtained from the corresponding ketones with good to high enantioselectivity by reduction with baker's yeast under optimized conditions. They are transformed into optically active 2-alkanols and thiiranes which are useful building blocks in organic synthesis.
