Sf. Arantes et al., The preparation and microbiological hydroxylation of 10 beta,11-oxido-4 alpha,5 alpha,7 beta-eremophilane, J CHEM R-S, (5), 1999, pp. 314-315
The preparation of 10 beta,11-oxido-4 alpha,5 alpha,7 beta-eremophilane by
the oxymercuration of valencene, its microbiological hydroxylation at C-1,
C-3, C-6, C-7 and C-8 by the fungus, Mucor plumbeus, and the X-ray crystal
structures of two of the metabolites, are described.
