title: Biotransformation of (4E,8R)-caryophyll-4(5)-en-8-ol by Botrytis cinerea.
abstract: Biotransformation of (4E,8R)-caryophyll-4(5)-en-8-ol (1) with Botrytis cinerea afforded 14 products (3-16). Thirteen of these (4-16) are described here for the first time. The main reaction paths involved the isomerization of the double bond at C-4/C-5 and hydroxylation of methyl groups.
