PROCESS FOR SELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF 4-HYDROXYISOPHORONE AND 4-KETOISOPHORONE BY FUNGAL PEROXYGENASES
The process of the present invention relates to the biocatalytic transformation of isophorone (3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one) and 4-hydroxyisophorone by several unspecific peroxygenases produced by fungi. These biocatalysts, that only require H2O2or organic peroxides for activation, potentially...

Zusammenfassung: | The process of the present invention relates to the biocatalytic transformation of isophorone (3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one) and 4-hydroxyisophorone by several unspecific peroxygenases produced by fungi. These biocatalysts, that only require H2O2or organic peroxides for activation, potentially represent a novel simple and environmentally friendly route for the production of isophorone derivatives, such as the high value products for the pharmaceutical and flavour and fragrance industry 4-hydroxyisophorone and 4-ketoisophorone. |
