Abstract
Enzymes as well as yeasts were used in enantioselective syntheses of bioregulators such as hormones and semiochemicals. Lipases and esterases were employed in achieving optical resolution, conversion of meso-compounds to optically active compounds, and macrolactonization. Lactase effected glucosidation of a phenolic hydroxy ketone without any protection of the functional groups. Yeasts provided a variety of optically active hydroxy esters and ketones, which served as versatile non-racemic chiral building blocks.
