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, resp. 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, resp. 2-dodecen-5-olide.
