REGIO AND STEREOSELECTIVE HYDROXYLATION OF 5a-HYDROXY-14-EUDESM-11-EN-3-ONE EUDESMANE BY BIOTRANSFORMATION OF RHIZOPUS NIGRICANS. J. Chil. Chem. Soc. [online]. 2006, vol.51, n.2, pp.855-857.

This paper describes a combined synthesis of b-hydroxy-sesquiterpen eudesmane derivative using a microbiological hydroxylation sesquiterpen eudesmane derivative as the key reaction. The stereochemistry of the biohydroxylation was identified using mono and bi-dimensional ¹H-NMR experiments
