Abstract
A bio-Baeyer–Villiger reaction using Acinetobacter NCIMB 9871 and the bicycloheptanone 2 provided the corresponding substituted oxabicyclooctanones 6 and 7. Similarly the ketones 3 and 9 furnished the lactones 8 and 10 respectively: the lactones 6, 7 and 10 were obtained in states of high optical purity.Keywords
