Abstract
In the recent years, intensive work has been devoted to the efficient preparation of new chiral synthons by asymmetric transformation of prochiral molecules, through enzymic or microbiological catalysis. In this respect, we have developed combined chemical- microbiological reduction and oxidation (Baeyer-Villiger like) methods which allow to obtain either enantiomer of chiral substituted lactones and lactonic synthons.
