(-)-Alloisolongifolene (1) is a structural analogue of the naturally occurring longifolene. The microbial transformation of (-)-alloisolongifolene (1) by Cunninghamella elegans afforded two new metabolites, 3a-hydroxyalloisolongifolol (2) and 13-hydroxyalloisolongifolol (3). The structures of the metabolites were deduced on the basis of their spectral data, including 1D and 2D NMR, IR and HREIMS.
