Abstract

Two ent-18-acetoxy-6-oxomanoyl oxides, epimers at C-13, have been prepared from ent-6alpha,8alpha,18-trihydroxylabda-13(16),14-diene (andalusol), isolated from Sideritis foetens, by means of several chemical pathways and a regioselective acylation with Candida cylindracea lipase (CCL). Biotransformation of these 13-epimeric ent-manoyl oxides by Fusarium moniliforme and Neurospora crassa produced mainly ent-1beta- or ent-11alpha-hydroxylations, as well as their deacetylated derivatives, in both epimers. In addition, with the 13-epi substrate N. crassa originated other minor hydroxylations by the ent-alpha face at C-1 or at C-12, whereas an ent-11beta-hydroxyl group, probably originated by reduction of an 11-oxo derivative also isolated, was achieved with the 13-normal substrate.
