The transformation of schizandrin (I) into gomisin A (II) was accomplished by use of a combination of biotransformation and chemical reactions. The biotransformation, microbial O-demethylation of I by Cuntiinghamella echinulata var. elegans (ATCC 9245) produced two novel metabolites [3-norschizandrin (IV) and 2-norschizandrin (VI)] and two known metabolites [gomisin T (III) and 13-norschizandrin (V)]. Among those metabolites, compound III was derived to II by the O-demethylation with a Lewis acid in the presence of an acid scavenger, followed by methylenation.
