A gene coding for an esterase (EstEH112) was isolated from metagenome originated from Korean intertidal flat sediment. The putative esterase gene encoded a 340 amino acids protein with characteristic residues of lipolytic enzymes such as a conserved pentapeptide (GXSXG), the typical catalytic S-D-H triad, and a GGG(A)X-motif in the oxyanion hole near the active site similar to the hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) family. p-Nitrophenyl butyrate was the best substrate for the enzyme among the other p-nitrophenyl esters investigated. The apparent optimal temperature and pH for EstEH112 was 35°C and at pH 8.0, respectively. EstEH112 efficiently catalyzed the hydrolysis of various large tertiary alcohol esters. These characteristics of EstEH112 make it a potential candidate for application in biocatalysis.

Selected plants within the Origanum, Mentha and Salvia genera, that contain significant amounts of chiral volatile alcohols and their related acetates, exhibit remarkable enantioselectivity of alcohol acetyl transferase (AAT) activity and particularly can discriminate between linalool enantiomers. Origanum dayi AAT produced almost enantiomerically pure (R)-linalyl acetate by enzymatic acetylation of racemic linalool, whereas the closely related O. majorana AAT produced a mixture of (R)- and (S)-linalyl acetate with a ratio of 6:4. Vmax of O. dayi acetylation activity was 30-fold higher for (R)-linalool, whereas in O. majorana no such differences were found.
Total partial synthesis of (3S, 6S)-(+)-3,7-dimethyl-6-hydroxy-3- acetoxyocta-1,7-diene and (3S, 6S)-(-)-3,7-dimethylocta-1,7-diene-3,6-diol from geraniol

The synthesis of (3S, 6S)-(+)-3,7-dimethyl-6-hydroxy-3-acetoxyocta-1,7- diene and (3S, 6S)-(-)3,7-dimethylocta-1,7-diene-3,6-diol via the rearrangement of the chiral 2,3-epoxy alcohol, with the system Ph3P, pyridine, I2 and H2O, is described.

Each of the four enantiomerically pure tetrahydropyran linalool oxides was prepared by separate enantioselective Sharpless dihydroxylation of (R)- or (S)-linalyl acetate with AD-mix-α or AD-mix-β, followed by a completely stereoselective N-phenylselenophthalimide cyclization of an intermediate allylic alcohol.
