Abstract
Biotransformation carried out by apples (Malus silvestris) resulted in enantiospecific hydrolysis of racemic acetates, the derivatives of se condary aromatic-aliphatic or terpenic alcohols. The alcohols are oxyg enated to ketones (reversible reaction). The differences in the rate o f the hydrolysis of enantiomeric esters enable isolation of pure, unre acted R-acetates.
