Abstract
Fungal transformation of monoterpenes was less frequently studied compared to other natural products until a few decades ago due to their toxicity, volatility and general difficulty in handling. In recent years, however, researchers have paid much attention and reported the fungal transformation of acyclic, monocyclic and bicyclic monoterpene hydrocarbons, and oxygenated monoterpenes and their derivatives. The present review thus summarizes the fungal transformation of acyclic, mono- and bicyclic monoterpene hydrocarbons, oxygenated monoterpenes and their derivatives. The bacterial transformations are not included in the present review.
Keywords: Fungal transformation, monoterpenes, oxygenated monoterpenes, hydrocarbons

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
