Abstract
Bakers' yeast reduction of ethyl acetoacetate and ethyl 3-oxo-hexanoate in D2O gives the corresponding /gb-hydroxy esters bearing an iosotopic label at the activated methlene position, in good yield and high enantiomeric excess. These compounds have been converted to their N-acetylcysteamine thioesters for use in biosynthetic studies.
