Abstract
Suspension cultured cells of Catharanthus roseus hydroxylate the allyl ic positions of geraniol, nerol and (+)- and (-)-carvone and reduce do uble bonds and ketone groups. After incubation for 7 days, the main pr oducts of(-)- and (+)-carvone were 5 beta-hydroxyneodihydrocarveol and 5 alpha-hydroxycarvone, respectively. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Sci ence Ltd.
