Biotransformation in organic synthesis: applications of yeast reduction in the synthesis of 3,5-dihydroxy esters of high optical purity

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.
