Cyclohexanonemonooxygenase (CHMO) from Acinetobacter sp NCIMB 9871 expressed in baker's yeast and in E. coli and cyclopentanone monooxygenase (CPMO) from Comamonas (previously Pseudomonas) sp. NCIMB 9872 expressed in E. coli are new bioreagents for Baeyer-Villigeroxidations. These engineered microorganisms, requiring neither biochemical expertise nor equipment beyond that found in chemical laboratories

Bicyclic cyclopentafuranols were formed by photoinitiated radical cyclization of allyl- and propinyloxymethyl substituted cyclopentanones with high regioselectivity. The irradiations were carried out at a wavelength of 300 nm in aprotic solvents such as benzene and acetonitrile. We could also show that reductive photoinduced electron transfer (PET) of the propynyloxymethyl substituted cyclopentanone 5 does not lead to any cyclization. The starting materials were synthesized in good yields following known procedures. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
