A microsomal enzyme preparation of chicory roots catalyses the hydroxylation of various sesquiterpene olefins in the presence of NADPH. Most of these hydroxylations take place at an isopropenyl or isopropylidenegroup. The number of products obtained from any of the substrates is confined to one or, in a few cases, two sesquiterpene alcohols. In addition, the conversion of (+)-valencene into nootkatone
chiral precursor guaiol. The absolute configuration of oxyfungiformin was established by a combination of X-ray analysis and comparison of the values for specific optical rotation. Oxyfungiformin and a diastereoisomer showed cytotoxic activity in a panel of human cancer cell models.

Minor constituents of the essentialoil of Cyperus rotundus have been investigated. The three newsesquiterpene hydrocarbons (-)-isorotundene, (-)-cypera-2,4(15)-diene, (-)-norrotundene and the ketone (+)-cyperadione were isolated and their structures elucidated. The absolute configuration of (-)-rotundene was derived by chemical correlation and enantioselective gas chromatography.
Abstract The biotransformation of a sesquitepenod which possesses a guaiane skeleton, (+)- γ -gurjunene has been investigated using the plantpathogenicfungus, Glomerellacingulata as a biocatalyst. (+)- γ -Gurjunene was oxidized at the double bond of the isopropenyl group to (1 S ,4 S ,7 R ,10 R )-5-guaien-11,13-diol and in addition oxidized at the C–10 position to (1 S ,4 S ,7 R ,10 S )-5-guaien-10

gamma-Gurjunene, a natural sesquiterpene isolated from gurjun balsam, is obtained by isomerization of alpha-gurjunene in acidic medium. Oxidation of gamma-gurjunene by reaction with m-chloroperbenzoic acid yielded a mixture of two monoepoxides and two diepoxides. Reduction reaction of a mixture of diepoxides with 4 equiv of lithium aluminum hydride or lithium triethylborohydride allowed isolation of a single diol in 93% yield. Four diols were obtained when reduction was realized with 2 equiv of reducing agent, including an epoxy alcohol, two enediols, and a dienol. The structure formulas of the compounds were determinated using one- and two-dimensional NMR and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
