An enantioselective Biginelli reaction that proceeds by a dual-activation route has been developed by using a combined catalyst of a readily available trans-4-hydroxyproline-derived secondary amine and a Brønsted acid. Aromatic, heteroaromatic, and fused-ring aldehydes were found to be suitable substrates

This study examined the characteristics and operational parameters of the asymmetric reduction of ethyl 4-chloro acetoacetate by bakers' yeast in order to produce S-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyric acid ethyl ester. Eight operational variables were also optimized using the Taguchi method with consideration of

The asymmetric bio-reduction of 4-chloro-acetoacetic-acid-ethyl-ester to the pharmaceutical building block (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate-ethyl-ester requires the utilization of an enantioselective robust biocatalyst. Some of the natural Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, isolated from Mount Carmel National Park in Israel, were characterized as resistant to environmental
