(±)-1-Phenylethyl (1), (±)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl (2), (±)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethyl (3) and (±)-menthyl (4) acetates were hydrolyzed using apple-tree shoots and hairy roots of carrot and apple-tree to afford alcohols, which, subsequntly, in the same environment, were oxygenated to ketones. Pure (S)-1-(2-naphthyl)ethanol ((S)-(-)-7), (R)-1-phenylethyl acetate ((R)-(+)-1), (R)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl acetate ((R)-(+)-2), (S)-1-phenylethanol ((S)-(-)-5) and (-)-menthol (1R,2S,5R)-(-)-8) have been produced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
