The biotransformation of (±)-linalool was investigated by screening 19 fungi. Product accumulation was enhanced by substrate feeding and, for the first time, lilac aldehydes and lilac alcohols were identified as fungal biotransformation byproduct using SPME-GC-MS headspace analysis. Aspergillus niger DSM 821, Botrytis cinerea 5901/02, and B. cinerea 02/FBII/2.1 produced different isomers of lilac aldehyde and lilac alcohol from linalool via 8-hydroxylinalool as postulated intermediate. Linalool oxides and 8-hydroxylinalool were the major products of fungal (±)-linalool biotransformations. Furanoid trans-(2R,5R)- and cis-(2S,5R)-linalool oxide as well as pyranoid trans-(2R,5S)- and cis-(2S, 5S)-linalool oxide were identified as the main stereoisomers with (3S,6S)-6,7-epoxylinalool and (3R,6S)-6,7-epoxylinalool as postulated key intermediates of fungal (±)-linalool oxyfunctionalization, respectively. With a conversion yield close to 100% and a productivity of 120 mg/L·day linalool oxides, Corynespora cassiicola DSM 62485 was identified as a novel highly stereoselective linalool transforming biocatalyst showing the highest productivity reported so far.
Enantioselective Bio-Hydrolysis of Geranyl-Derived rac-Epoxides: A Chemoenzymatic Route to trans-Furanoid Linalool Oxide

In contrast to many chemical dihydroxylation methods, enzymatic epoxide hydrolysis provides an environmentally benign route to vicinal diols, which are important intermediates in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Using epoxide hydrolases, enantiopure diols are accessible under mild conditions. In order to assess the selectivity of epoxide hydrolases on geraniol-derived oxiranes, a range of derivatives were screened against a large variety of enzyme preparations. For nearly all substrates, a matching hydrolase with excellent enantioselectivity (≥95% ee) could be found. In addition, a chemoenzymatic approach for the stereoselective synthesis of furanoid linalool oxide was developed. Combination of enzymatic enantioselective hydrolysis with stereoselective Tsuji-Trost reaction granted diastereoselective access to trans-(2R,5R)-configured linalool oxide with high diastereomeric and enantiomeric excess (97% de and 97% ee).

A stereoselective synthesis of the tetrahydrofuran-containing natural products (2S,5R)-(+)-linalool oxide (1), (-)-isocyclocapitelline (2), and (-)-isochrysotricine (3) is reported. Key steps are the copper-mediated SN2′-substitution of proparg
