Renewable commodity chemicals can be generated from plant materials. Often abundant materials such as sugars are used for this purpose. However, these lack appropriate functionalities and, therefore, they require extensive chemical modifications before they can be used as commodity chemicals. The plant kingdom is capable of producing an almost endless variety of compounds, including compounds with highly appropriate functionalities, but these are often not available in high quantities. It has been demonstrated that it is possible to produce functionalized plant compounds on a large scale by fermentation in microorganisms. This opens up the potential to exploit plant compounds that are less abundant, but functionally resemble commodity chemicals more closely. To elaborate this concept, we demonstrate the suitability of a highly functionalized plant compound, methyl perillate, as a precursor for the commodity chemical terephthalic acid.
One-pot chemoenzymatic synthesis of aldoximes from primary alcohols in water

A new synthetic method for the one-pot preparation of aldoximes in water was developed; the method is based on the combination of the enzymatic oxidation of primary alcohols to aldehydes using different acetic acid bacteria and in situ condensation of the aldehydes with hydroxylamine.
THE SYNTHESIS OF (-)-SIRENIN, SPERM ATTRACTANT OF THE WATER MOLD ALLOMYCES MACROGYNUS
Kitahara, Takeshi,Horiguchi, Akira,Mori, Kenji
, p. 4713 - 4720 (2007/10/02)
Synthesis of (-)-sirenin 1a, sperm attracting hormone of Allomyces macrogynus was achieved through 10 steps from (-)-perillaldehyde 3.Formation of cyclopropane ring was executed diastereoselectively by the cyclization via intramolecular epoxide opening under carefully controlled condition.
