Abstract
Enantiomerically pure alcohols produced by Thermoanaerobium brockii alcohol dehydrogenase (TBADH)-catalyd asymmetric reduction of polyfunctional ketones are useful building blocks for natural products synthesis. This advantage has been demonstrated by a total synthesis of all four isomers of 8-methyldec-2-yl propanoate, the sex pheromone emitted by the female weatem com rootworm, Diubrotica virgifera virgifera Leconte. These ...
