ENZYMATIC CYCLIZATION OF HOMOFARNESYLIC ACID

The present invention relates to processes for the preparation of sclareolide and related compounds by the biocatalytic cyclization of polyunsaturated carboxylic acid compounds, in particular of homofarnesylic acid and related compounds; and to a process for the preparation of ambroxide via the biocatalytic cyclization of homofarnesylic acid to sclareolide.
