Popis: Baker's yeast mediated transformation of a series of 1,3-cyclohexanediones with two identical substituents at C(2) was investigated and the results of the biotransformation were found to depend on the size of the substituents at C(2). 1,3-Cyclohexanediones with less sterically demanding C(2) substituents could be mono-reduced to provide the corresponding ketols in good yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses.
