Abstract
7-exo-Methyl-7-endo-phenylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one 3 undergoes Baeyer-Villiger and allylic oxidation, to yield novel hydroxylactone 8 in good yield by Cunninghamella echinulata NRRL 3655, representing a one step biocatalytic access to a cyclopentanoid scaffold with three chiral centers. Interesting, allylic oxidation occurs with transposition of the double bond.
