In the biotransformation of the enantiomers of p-ment-1-en-8-ol (α-terpineol) and 8-acetoxy-p-ment-1-ene (α-terpinyl acetate) with the cultured suspension cells of Nicotina tabacum, it was clarified that the cultured cells effected the hydroxylation at the 6-position of (4R)-(+)-enantiomer in preference to the (4S)-(-)-enantiomer, whereas the cells did the hydrolysis of the acetoxyl group and the hydroxylation of the ethylenic linkage of (4S)-(-)-α-terpinyl acetate in preference to the (4R)-(+)-enantiomer.
