Abstract
alpha,beta-unsaturated aryl ketones, 1a-12, have been submitted to the action of the fungus Beauveria bassiana (ATCC 7159) in growing condit ions. The saturation of the double bond strictly depends from the subs tituent a to the carbonyl soup. The saturated ketone is then oxidised in a Baeyer-Villiger type reaction. This new oxidative capacity of the fungus has been studied and the adaptability of the micro organism to wards structural modifications has been investigated. (C) 1998 Elsevie r Science B.V.
