Baker's yeast reduction of α-methyleneketones

The bioreduction of α-methyleneketones, R1C(=O)C(=CH2)R2 (R1 = Me, Et, Pr, iso-Bu, Ph, CH2CH2Ph; R2 = Cl, Me, Et, n-Pr, iso-Pr, n-Bu, n-C6H13, Ph, CH2Ph), was mediated by baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to obtain the corresponding α-methylketones. The R1 and R2 groups had a significant influence on the rate and enantioselectivity of the reductions. The rate of C=C bond reduction was higher than that of C=O bond reduction. Only α-methyleneketones having R1 = Me yielded α-methylketones in high enantioselectivity with e.e.s of 88-99%.
