Abstract
The hydrolysis of acetates: (+/-)-1-phenylethyl((+/-)-1), (+/-)-1-(1-n aphthyl)ethyl ((+/-)-2), (+/-)-1-(2- naphthyl)ethyl ((+/-)-3) and (+/- )-menthyl ((+/-)-4) with the use of potato and topinambur (artichoke) tubers results in the production of alcohols, which in the same enviro nment are oxygenated to ketones. Pure S-1-phenylethyl acetate has been produced. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights rese rved.
