โฆ Synopsis
A novel transformation of a-substituted benzylcyanides by hydroxylation of benzyl sites using cultured cells of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum, producing alkano-or benzophenones via presumably a-cyanohydrin is demonstrated. Also regioselective hydroxylation of 4S-(-)-perillyl alcohol and 3S-(-)-citronellol by cultured suspension cells of Catharanthus roseus is reported.
