Abstract

All four stereoisomers of methyl 6-(p-chlorophenylthio)-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate have been synthesised by a route in which the key introduction of chirality was effected by an appropriate yeast reduction. ... Because polyoxygenated units occur in many polyether and ... Scheme 1, this was envisaged as beginning with stereospecific ... Published on 01 January 1988.
