Abstract:
Biotransformation of the fungistatic sesquiterpenoid patchoulol (1) by the fungus Botrytis cinerea affords the 5-, 7- and (8R)-hydroxy (2, 3, and 5) derivatives as the major metabolites, together with a number of minor metabolites (4, 6-9) arising from hydroxylation at C-2, C-3, C-5, C-9, C-13, and C-14.
