Abstract
(+)- and (-)-Camphorquinones were readily reduced by various fungi. Th e reduction of (-)-camphorquinone by Aspergillus niger produced mainly (+)-2R-endo-hydroxyepicamphor with high stereoselectivity whereas red uction of (+)-camphorquinone by Glomerella cingulata and Mucor mucedo afforded (-)-3S-exo-hydroxycamphor with stereoselectivity.
