Biotransformation of (-)-?-Pinene by Botrytis cinerea
Özet
(-)-?-Pinene (1), a major constituent of many aromatic plants was biotransformed by the plant pathogenic fungus, Botrytis cinerea to afford three new metabolites, characterized as 3ß-hydroxy-(-)-ß-pinene (10%) (3), 9-hydroxy-(-)-?-pinene (12%) (4), 4,ß-hydroxy-(-)-?- pinene-6-one (16%) (5) by physical and spectroscopic methods. A known metabolite verbenone (2) was also obtained
