| Abstract: | Summary Microorganisms which efficiently oxidize limonene 1, do not attack 3,3,5,5-tetramethyllimonene 4. Gibberella cyanea which converts limonene 1 into 8-p-menthene-1,2-diol 2, transforms 4 into 8,9-epoxy-3,3,5,5-tetramethyl-1-menthenol-6 5 as major product. Although epoxidation is not completely stereoselective, the substituents at C-4 and C-6 are always trans to each other. |
