Patent number: 6808903
Abstract: Subject of the invention is a process for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) in which R1-R9 represent, independently of each other hydrogen a substituent; m is 0, 1 or 2; n is 0, 1, 2 or 3; and the bonds marked with A, B, C, D, E and F indicate, independently of each other, that two adjacent carbon atoms are connected by a double bond, a single bond, a single bond and an epoxide bridge, or a single bond and a methylene bridge, including, where applicable, an E/Z isomer, a mixture of E/Z isomers, and/or a tautomer thereof, in each case in free form or in salt form, which process comprises I) bringing a compound of formula (II); wherein R1-R7, m, n, A, B, C, D, E and F have the same meanings as given for formula (I) above, into contact with a biocatalyst that is capable of specifically oxidising the alcohol at position 4″ in order to form a compound of formula (III), in which R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, m, n, A, B, C, D, E and F have the meanings given for formula (I); and 2) reacting the compou
