Enzymatic Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of steroids with cyclopentadecanone monooxygenase

Abstract

Publication Date:

2010

abstract:

Recombinant cyclopentadecanone monooxygenase from Pseudomonas sp. catalyzed the preparative-scale Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of numerous 3 and 17-ketosteroids with a full control of the regiochemistry of the produced lactones. The recovered product yields were up to 42%.
