Abstract
Abstract ( R )-(+) and ( S )-(−) ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxybutanoate are obtained both by enantioselective Baker’s yeast reduction of ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoate in the presence of allyl bromide or allyl alcohol. The two additives act as inhibitors of Si or Re yeast-enzymes, respectively.
