Abstract

A sesquiterpene cyclic ether, (-)-maalioxide (1) from the liverwort Plagiochila sciophila was biotransformed by Aspergillus niger and A. cellulosae to afford the structurally interesting compounds.The stereostructures of the metabolites were established by a combination of high resolution NMR spectrum, X-Ray crystallographic analysis and the chemical reaction.
