NATURAL 5-DECANOLIDE AND 5-DODECANOLIDE AND PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

The present invention concerns natural 5-decanolide and 5- dodecanolide, obtainable by biocatalytic reduction of natural 2-decen-5- olide, respectively 2-dodecen-5-olide, as well as the production of natural 5- decanolide and 5-dodecanolide by biocatalytic reduction of the corresponding unsaturated natural 2-decen-5-olide, respectively 2-dodecen- 5-olide.
