Abstract

Eleven 0-keto acids, ranging from 3-oxobutanoic to 3-oxooctanoic acids, were reduced with fermenting bakers' yeast to the corresponding optically active 0-hydroxy acids, which were isolated as the methyl esters. In all cases, the (R)-hydroxy acids were obtained in 298% ee, except for 3-oxobutanoic acid, which afforded the (S)-hydroxy acid in 86% ee. Inhibition of fermentation was observed for 3-oxoundecanoic to 3-oxotetradecanoic acids, leading to ...
