| Abstract |
Starting from labdanolic acid, extracted from Cistus ladaniferus plant, the first synthesis of the natural product 3b-hydroxy-labd-8(17)-en-15-oic acid was achieved, via microbial transformation mediated by Penicillium janczewskii followed by dehydration. The structure of a new labdane diterpene, namely 3 beta-hydroxy-labdanolic acid, was elucidated by X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic data. (C) 2013 Phytochemical Society of Europe.
