M. Miyazawa et Y. Miyasato, Biotransformation of (+)- and (-)-bornyl acetate using the plant parasiticfungus Glomerella cingulata as a biocatalyst, J CHEM TECH, 76(2), 2001, pp. 220-224
The microbial transformations of (+)- and (-)-bornyl acetate were investiga
ted using the plant parasitic fungus, Glomerella cingulata. As a result, ()- and (-)-bornyl acetate were converted to (+)- and (-)-5-exo-hydroxyborny
l acetate, (+)- and (-)-5-oxobornyl acetate and (+)- and (-)-borneol respec
tively. The structures of the metabolic products were determined by spectro
scopic data. (C) 2001 Society of Chemical Industry.
