Abstract:
Diastereomerically pure levoglucosenone alcohol, synthesized from levoglucosenone, upon hydrogenation on Raney Ni or Pd/BaSO4 undergoes epimerization at C2 atom caused by formation of cyrene by-product and its subsequent non-specific reduction. A microbiological stereospecific technique using baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has been developed levoglucosenone for cyrene reduction into cyrene alcohol and also applied to reduce 4-alkoxy and 4-benzyloxy derivatives of cyrene.
