✦ Synopsis
The microbial reduction of ~-ketoesters derived from 2-tetralone has been shown to produce good yields of 2-hydroxy-l-carboxy-or 3-hydroxy-2-carboxyesters. Baker's yeast invariably affords a high enantiomeric purity cis-hydroxyester, while fungi strains may produce, sometimes exclusively, cisor transcomplementary stereochemistries. From a general survey of the baker's yeast reduction of cyclic 13-ketoesters, a working model for predicting enantio-and diastereoselectivities of the reduction is proposed and discussed.
