Enantiospecific (S)-(+)-Linalool Formation from beta-Myrcene by Linalool Dehydratase-Isomerase
Copyright policy )Enantiospecific (S)-(+)-Linalool Formation from beta-Myrcene by Linalool Dehydratase-Isomerase
The linalool dehydratase-isomerase from Castellaniella defragrans strain 65Phen catalyzes in the thermodynamically unfavourable direction the hydration of β-myrcene to linalool and further the isomerization to geraniol, the initial steps in anaerobic β-myrcene biodegradation. We have now investigated the stereochemistry of this reaction. (S)-(+)-Linalool is formed with an enantiomeric excess of at least 95.4%. (R)-(-)-Linalool was not detected. This indicates an introduction of the hydroxy group on the si-face of β-myrcene.
