RT journal article T1 Biocatalytic preparation and absolute configuration of enantiomerically pure fungistatic anti-2-benzylindane derivatives. Study of the detoxification mechanism by Botrytis cinerea A1 Pinedo Rivilla, Cristina A1 Aleu Casatejada, Josefina A1 Grande Benito, Manuel A1 González Collado, Isidro A2 Química Orgánica K1 anti-2-benzylindane K1 Biocatalytic K1 Botrytis cinerea AB Enantiomerically pure 2-benzylindane derivatives were prepared using biocatalytic methods and theirabsolute configuration determined. (1R,2S)-2-Benzylindan-1-ol ((1R,2S)-2) and(S)-2-benzylindan-1-one ((S)-3) were produced by fermenting baker’s yeast. Lipase-mediatedesterifications and hydrolysis of the corresponding racemic substrates gave rise to the enantiopurecompounds (1S,2R)-2-benzylindan-1-ol ((1S,2R)-2) and (1R,2S)-2-benzylindan-1-ol ((1R,2S)-2),respectively. The antifungal activity of these products against two strains of the plant pathogen Botrytiscinerea was tested. The metabolism of anti-(±)-2-benzylindan-1-ol (anti-(±)-2) by B. cinerea as part ofthe fungal detoxification mechanism is also described and revealed interesting differences in the genomeof both strains.
