title: Reduction of alkyl (2-oxocyclohexyl)acetates by baker's yeast.
abstract: Baker's yeast reduction of methyl and ethyl (2-oxocyclohexyl) acetates proceeded with enantio- and diastereo-selectivity, affording the corresponding (2S)-trans-alcohols (major), (2S)-cis-alcohols (minor), and the unaltered (1S)-ketones with high optical purity.
