Cyclopentadecanone monooxygenase CPDMO

In fact, Mihovilovic and coworkers have demonstrated for a series of terpinones that this is indeed the case [65dj. For instance, on treatment with cyclopentadecanone monooxygenase (CPDMO) the enantiomers of trans-dihydrocarvone [(+)-470 and (—)-472] are oxidized to the enantio- and regioisomerically pure lactones 471 and 473, respectively, with quantitative conversion.
