Description
Ethyl pivaloylacetate is a significant β-ketoester. It is widely employed as a model substrate in biocatalysis to evaluate the catalytic activity and stereoselectivity of ketoreductase (KRED) tool-boxes. Due to the presence of the bulky pivaloyl (tert-butyl) group, it serves as an excellent probe for assessing the substrate pocket size and enantioselectivity of recombinant enzymes. The enzymatic reduction of this compound yields enantiopure β-hydroxyesters, which are essential chiral building blocks for the synthesis of sophisticated pharmaceutical intermediates.
