Abstract
Abstract The hydrolysis of acetates: (±)-1-phenylethyl ((±)- 1 ), (±)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl ((±)- 2 ), (±)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethyl ((±)- 3 ) and (±)-menthyl ((±)- 4 ) with the use of potato and topinambur (artichoke) tubers results in the production of alcohols, which in the same environment are oxygenated to ketones. Pure S -1-phenylethyl acetate has been produced.
