β¦ Synopsis
2-Methoxycyclohexanone l, useful intermediate in the synthesis of Sanfetrinem 2, is obtained from (S) ct-benz'ylidene cyclohexanol 4, derived from the ketone 3 through a short sequence involving as key step yeast reduction of the carbonyl group. The (R) enantiomer of I is similarly accessible from the (R) enantiomer of 4 obtained either upon Candida lipolytica-mediated reduction of 3 or from (R,S)-4 by porcine pancreatic lipase catalyzed acetylation with vinyl acetate. Also the saturated carbinols 7 and 8, which accompany 4 in the microbial reduction of 3, are converted into l through unexceptional steps. Nocardia opaca, Pichia etchelsii and Mucor subtilissimus provide from 3 upon reduction (S)-configurated 4, 7 and 8 possessing moderate-high ee values.

Indene is oxidized to mixtures of cis-and trans-indandiols and related metabolites by Pseudomonas putida and Rhodococcus sp. isolates. Indene metabolism is consistent with monooxygenase and dioxygenase activity. P. putida resolves enantiomeric mixtures of cis-1,2-indandiol by further selective oxida
Preparation of the "Ziegler key intermediate" 2from lactone 3, readily obtained from hydroxy-O-ionone, was studied. In a first exploratory approach, lactones 11 and 13 were obtained but further transformations aimed at setting the ring junction were unsuccessful due to unexpected rearrangements. Thr
