Abstract
The hemisynthesis of 1 alpha -hydroxydrimenol has been selected to illustra te a synthetic route involving an initial microbial 3 beta -hydroxylation o f a drimenol derivative followed by a functionalization transfer to positio n 1 alpha, thus generating a new potentially bioactive hydroxylated terpeni c compound, Several methods have been investigated for the protection and t he regeneration of the 7,8-double bond of drimenyl derivatives.
