Abstract

Abstract Reduction of simple β-keto sulfides, β-keto sulfoxides and P-keto sulfones by an actively fermenting mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae proceeds readily and affords good yields of the corresponding optically active secondary alcohols. For example, 1-(benzylthio) propan-2-one gave optically pure (S)-(+)-1-(benzylthio) propan-2-ol and 1-(phenylsulfonyl) propan-2-one gave optically pure (S)-(+)-1-(phenylsulfonyl) propan-2-ol. In the reductions ...
