On the Mode of Biodegradation of Cinnamic-Acids by Colletotrichum Gloeosporoides - A Direct Access to 4-Vinylphenol and 2-Methoxy-4-Vinylphenol
The mode of transformation by growing cultures of Colletotrichum gloeosporoides of C-6-C-3, unsaturated cinnamic acids 1, a-f depends upon the pattern of the oxygen substitution in the aromatic ring; from 1b and 1d are exclusively obtained upon decarboxylation the C-6-C-2 vinyl phenols 2b and 2d. whereas in the remaining instances the C-6-C-3 educts 3-5 formed by reduction are prevalent
