Abstract
Abstract The banana volatile (S)-2-pentyl (R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate has been synthesized in 79% yield and high optical purity (> 99% ee,> 99% de) starting from methyl 3-oxohexanoate and 2-pentanone. The synthetic method consists of three steps and the key reactions are enzymatic reduction and enzymatic transesterification.
