Abstract
The biotransformation of (RS)-1-phenylethanol with cultured cells of Cathar anthus roseus gave its vicianoside [alpha -L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-6)-beta -D -glucopyranoside], primeveroside [beta -D-xylopyranosyl-(1-6)-beta -D-gluco pyranoside] and gentiobioside [beta -D-glucopyranosyl-(1-6)-beta -D-glucopy ranoside] via the corresponding glucoside. It was found that primeveroside and gentiobioside were enantioselectively composed of only (R)-1-phenyletha nol as its aglycone moiety.
