A study on the enzymic resolution of the most common p-menthan-3-ol monoterpene isomers is described. Enantioenriched alcohols 1, 5, 10, 11 and 12 are obtained by means of the lipase-mediated kinetic acetylation of the corresponding racemic materials. The stereochemical aspects of the enzymic process have been investigated. We found that the structural features of the starting p-menthan-3-ol as well as the kind of lipase used, impacted strongly on the enantioselectivity of the resolution. The potentialities of this approach for preparative purposes are discussed.
Isolation, structural assignment and insecticidal activity of (-)-(1S,2R,3R,4S)-1,2-epoxy-1-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-cyclohex-3-yl acetate, a natural product from Minthostachys tomentosa

(-)-(1S,2R,3R,4S)-1,2-Epoxy-1-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-cyclohex-3-yl acetate has previously been identified as the active compound of Minthostachys tomentosa responsible for the insecticidal activity against Oncopeltus fasciatus. Its structure was initial
