Abstract

A study on the regioselective reduction of the conjugate double bond of perillaldehyde is described. The chemical reduction of this substrate was investigated in order to provide a straightforward access to the relevant natural flavour, dihydroperillaldehyde. The biological reduction of both natural (S)-(−)-perillaldehyde and synthetic (R)-(+)-perillaldehyde was accomplished by means of fermenting baker's yeast. The latter microorganism converted, ...
