Biotransformation of (+)-menthol with Macrophomina phaseolina led to hydroxylations at C-1, C-2, C-6, C-7, C-8 and C-9, with the C-8 position being preferentially oxidized. The resulting metabolites were identified as 8-hydroxymenthol (2), 6R-hydroxymenthol (3), 1R-hydroxymenthol (4), 9-hydroxymenthol (5), 2R,8-dihydroxymenthol (6), 8S,9-dihydroxymenthol (7), 6R,8-dihydroxymenthol (8), 1R,8-dihydroxymenthol (9) and 7,8-dihydroxymenthol (10). Metabolites 6-10 are described here for the first time. Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic analysis.
