Ethyl 2-oxoheptanoate has been reduced by three methods: free bakers’ yeast (FBY) in water, immobilized bakers’ yeast (IMBY) in water, and IMBY in hexane. It has been found that the stereochemistry of reduction of α-keto esters by bakers’ yeast is controlled by appropriate choice of reaction conditions. © 1988, American Chemical Society.
