✦ Synopsis
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 ester (-)-( 2), representing an important strategy to prepare chiral functionalized 2-oxabicyclic i3.3.01 octane and 2-oxabicyclic[4.4.0lnonane derivatives, useful synthons to access new bioactive compounds. o 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
