Abstract

Idesolide was synthesized in five steps from benzoic acid by base-catalyzed dimerization of hydroxy keto ester, obtained from diol, the product of the whole-cell fermentation of benzoic acid with R. eutrophus B9.

Key words

idesolide - hydroxy keto ester - diol - whole-cell fermentation - benzoic acid
