Previously, stereoselective hydroxylation of α-ionone by Cytochrome P450 BM3 mutants M01 A82W and M11 L437N was observed. While both mutants hydroxylate α-ionone in a regioselective manner at the C3 position, M01 A82W catalyzes formation of trans-3-OH-α-ionone products whereas M11 L437N

The Ziegler intermediate, useful for the total synthesis of forskolin, was synthesized in 10 reaction steps starting from commercially available alpha-ionone. This highly efficient synthesis relies on the success of two consecutive highly regio- and stereoselective rearrangements. The current synthesis
