Enantioselective synthesis of (R)-citronellal from geraniol with an immobilised copper alcohol oxidase and ene reductase
{{output}}
(R)-Citronellal is one of the key chiral intermediates in the synthesis of the isomer (-)-menthol, one of the most commercialised terpenoid flavours worldwide. Enzymatic approaches could represent a less energy-demanding alternative for its synthesis, such as ... ...
