1,8-Cineole is an abundant natural product that has the potential to be transformed into other building blocks that could be suitable alternatives to petroleum-based chemicals. Mono-hydroxy-lation of 1,8-cineole can potentially occur at eight different carbon sites around the bicyclic ring system. Using cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP101J2 from <i>Sphingobium yanoikuyae</i> B2, the hy-droxy-lation can be regioselectively directed at the C atom adjacent to the methyl-substituted quaternary brid ...[more]
