Asymmetric piperidine synthesis

It has been demonstrated that bakers' yeast reduction of 1-tert-butyl-2-methyl 3-oxo-piperidine-1,2-dicarboxylate gives (2R, 3S), 1-tert-butyl-2-methyl 3-hydroxy-piperidine-1,2-dicarboxylate in 80% chemical yield with >99% d.e. and >97% e.e. Also bakers' yeast reduction of 1-tert-but...
