18. The absolute configuration of (5)-acetolactate was determined by CD spectroscopy; see: A. Baykal, S. Chakraborty, A. Dodoo, F. Jordan, Bioorg. Chem. 2006, 34, 380. The absolute configuration of (R)-PAC was determined by chiral-phase HPLC analysis with the (R)-PAC formed by ScPDC. The absolute configurations of (TJ)-Ia and (R)-2a were determined by optical rotation; see Refs. [16] and [17].

23. We have tested the recombinant enzymes benzaldehyde lyase (from Pseudomonas fluorescens; protein ID (NCBI): AAG02282.1), benzoylformate decarboxylase (from Pseudomonas putida; protein ID (NCBI): AAC15502.1), pyruvate decarboxylase (from Saccharomyces cerevisiae; protein ID (NCBI): CAA39398.1 and from Zymomonas mobitis; protein ID (NCBI): AAA27696.2), and PigD (from Serratia marcescens; C. Dresen, PhD Thesis, University of Freiburg, 2008) in combinations with aromatic, aliphatic and olefinic methyl- and trifluoromethyl ketones. No traces of aldehyde-ketone cross-coupling products were found.
