Abstract
The potassium salt of glutaconaldehyde, a degradation product of pyrid ine, has been converted via inter alia IMDA cyclisation of a dienyl fu maric ester and baker's yeast-mediated reduction of a ketoester, into an optically-active 2,3,trisubstituted cyclohexanone having a stereoch emical pattern strongly related to that displayed by the C-ring in the title compounds.
