G. Fronza et al., STEREOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF FLAVOR BIOGENERATION THROUGH BAKERS-YEAST MEDIATED REDUCTION OF CARBONYL-ACTIVATED DOUBLE-BONDS, Pure and applied chemistry, 68(11), 1996, pp. 2065-2071
The baker's yeast mediated reduction of the unsaturated carbonyl compo
unds (4) under bar, (5) under bar and (6) under bar has been studied i
n the context of the generation of the natural forms of the flavour ma
terials (1) under bar, (2) under bar and (3) under bar. The stereochem
ical aspects of these processes and of those regarding the reduction o
f the structurally related enones <(18)under bar>, <(19)under bar>, <(
30)under bar>, <(31)under bar> and ($) under bar have been elucidated
also by means of deuterium labeling experiments.
