abstract = {A new access to optically active $\beta, \delta$-dihydroxy
esters and $\delta$-hydroxy-$\beta$-keto esters is
presented. These compunds are valuable intermediates for the
synthesis of important natural products and pharmaceuticals,
e. g. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors of the mevinic acid type.
The synthesis strategy is based on an unprecedented highly
regio- and enantioselective biocatalytic reduction of
achiral $\beta, \delta$-diketo esters. In a screening, two
enantiocomplementary biocatalysts were found to be
particularly suitable for this purpose. Thus, the $\beta,
\delta$-diketo ester $\textit{tert}$-butyl
6-chloro-3,5-dioxohexanoate was reduced by NADP(H)-dependent
alcohol dehydrogenase of $\textit{Lactobacillus brevis}$ to
afford enantiomerically pure $\delta$-hydroxy-$\beta$-keto
ester $\textit{tert}$-butyl
(S)-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate in a 72-84 \% isolated
yield (>99.5\% ee). The enzyme is readily available in the
form of a crude cell extract from a recombinant $\textit{E.
coli}$ strain (recLBADH). A scale-up of the one-step
substrate synthesis (140 g scale) and of the enzymatic
reduction (70 g scale, substrate-coupled NADPH-regeneration)
was established. The enantiomeric
$\delta$-hydroxy-$\beta$-keto ester $\textit{tert}$-butyl
(R)-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate was obtained by
reduction of $\textit{tert}$-butyl
6-chloro-3,5-dioxohexanoate with baker's yeast
($\textit{Saccharomyces cerevisiae}$). A detailed
investigation of the reaction parameters of this whole-cell
transformation led to the application of a biphasic system
by which the enantiomeric excess could be raised from 48\%
ee to 94\% ee (50\% isolated yield). The $\beta$-keto group
of both enantiomers thus obtained was reduced by
$\textit{syn}$- and $\textit{anti}$-selective borohydride
reductions. Combination of the reduction methods afforded
all four stereoisomers of the crystalline $\beta,
\delta$-dihydroxy ester $\textit{tert}$-butyl
6-chloro-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate (>99\% ee and $\textit{dr}$
> 200:1 each, 52-70\% isolated yield). Alternatively, the
$\textit{syn}$- (3R,5S)-isomer of this known building block
was obtained in one step and with high stereoisomeric purity
by reduction of $\textit{tert}$-butyl
6-chloro-3,5-dioxohexanoate with whole cells of
$\textit{Lactobacillus kefir}$. An iodide and an epoxide
suitable for C-C-bond formation at C-6 were derived from
$\textit{tert}$-butyl
$\textit{syn}$-(3R,5S)-6-chloro-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate.
recLBADH accepts a variety of $\beta, \delta$-diketo esters
as was determined in a photometric assay. The $\beta,
\delta$-diketo esters $\textit{tert}$-butyl
3,5-dioxohexanoate and $\textit{tert}$-butyl
3,5-dioxoheptanoate were reduced an a 1-10 mmol scale to
afford the corresponding (R)-$\delta$-hydroxy-$beta$-keto
esters with 99.4\% ee and 98.1\% ee, respectively (61-77 \%
isolated yield). The reduction ofthe branched $\beta,
\delta$-diketo ester $\textit{tert}$-butyl
$\textit{rac}$-4-methyl-3,5-dioxohexanoate proceeds via a
dynamic kinetic resolution which resulted in a 66\% isolated
yield of the corresponding
$\textit{syn}$-(4S,5R)-$\delta$-hydroxy-$beta$-keto ester
(99.2\% ee, dr = 35:1). To underline the applicability of
the virtually enantiopure enzymatic products, they were used
as starting materials for several new natural product
syntheses. Furthermore, a convenient process for the
large-scale separation of noncrystallising diastereomeric
$\textit{syn}$- and $\textit{anti}$- 1,3-diols was
developed. The crucial step of this new method is a
diastereomer-differentiating hydrolysis of the respective
acetonides.},
