A study of the microbiological reduction of a,B-unsaturated carbonyl ent-kaurenes by Gibberella fujikuroi
The incubation of 18-hydroxy-15-oxo-ent-kaur-16-ene with the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi gave 16a,17-dihydro-15-oxo derivatives, whilst the feeding of 3-oxo-15a,16a-epoxy-ent-kaur-1-ene afforded a series of products, which conserve the 1,2-double bond. These results indicated that the hydrogenation, of a,B-unsaturated carbonyl compunds with an ent-kaurene skeleton by this fungus is a stereospecific and regiospecific reduction, that does not depend on the biosynthetic route of gibberellins and kaurenolides.
