26. It has been reported that an accelerated reaction rate was observed using glucose, the energy-gaining and NAD(P)H-producing glycolysis system of yeast, in the bakers' yeast reduction of β-keto ester derivatives (ref. 4b).
27. The absolute stereochemistry was established by its derivatization to the known methyl ester, and comparison of the optical rotation. (ref. 2a).

32. The enantioselectivity was effectively improved by the addition of a pre-mixture of the substrate and 1 eq of L-cysteine to a suspension of bakers' yeast in the bakers' yeast reduction of butyl 3-oxopentanoate (87% ee, compare with entry 8 & 9 in ).
