verbenol/abies

Both enantiomers and the racemate of alpha-pinene were transformed by Picea abies cells immobilised on alginate. The main products were cis- and trans-verbenol, the later being further transformed to verbenone. The enantiomeric purity of each product more or less corresponded to that of the

The enantiomeric composition of α-pinene in individual Norway spruce trees [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] was determined on a chiral GC column after stereoselective hydroboration-oxidation followed by a reaction with isopropyl isocyanate to form the carbamate derivative. The enantiomeric composition

alpha-Pinene, both as the pure enantiomers and as the racemate, was transformed mainly to trans-verbenol by treatment with a Picea abies suspension cell culture. These reactions were followed by a slow transformation of the verbenol to verbenone, which was not transformed further. trans-Pinocarveol,
