Microbiological hydroxylation of (+)- and (−)-bornyl acetate with Helminthosporium sativum and Fusarium culmorum.

Abstract The regiospecificity of hydroxylation of (+)- and (−)-bornyl acetateby cultures of Helminthosporium sativum and Fusarium culmorum has been determined.

Chemical and microbiological remote oxidation of (–)-bornyl acetate

Chemical and microbiological remote oxidation of (–)-bornyl acetate occurs preferentially at the C(5) position.

Synthesis and biological activity of monoterpenoid analogues of cis-sativenediol and helminthosporal

Synthetic routes from (+)- or (–)-camphor to enantiomers of 5-exo-6-exo- and 5-endo-6-exo-dihydroxy-camphene and 1,4-diformyl-2,3,3-trimethylcyclopentene have been developed and a preliminary assessment of their phytohormone activity has been made.
