Abstract
The microbial transformation of (2E,6E)-farnesol was investigated using the plant pathogenic fungus, Glomerella cingulata. At the first step, oxidation proceeded at the remote double bond to give (2E,6E)-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadien-1,11-diol and (2E,6E)-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadien-1,10,11-triol. In the second step, (2E,6E)-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadien-1,11-diol was hydroxylated at the C-5 position and to give (2E,6E)-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadien-1,5,11-triol. In addition, (2E,6E)-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadien-1,5,11-triol was isomerized to (2Z,6E)-3,7,11-trimethyl-2,6-dodecadien-1,5,11-triol.
