Popis: The syntheses of 1R- and 1S-5-methylenylcamphor, camphor analogues in which the two methylene hydrogens at C-5 have been replaced with an exocyclic methylene group, are described. The stereospecific epoxidations of both olefins by Pseudomonas putida cytochrome P450-CAM to give the exo -epoxides are reported. The turnover rates for the epoxidation of the 1R and 1S olefins are ten- and three-fold slower, respectively, than the rates of hydroxylation of 1R- and 1S-camphor.
