3α,4α-Dihydroxy-dihydro-β-agarofuran (1), prepared from (+)-dihydrocarvone by a traditional synthetic method, the Robinson annelation, was biotransformed by R. nigricans to afford a new metabolite characterized as 1α,3α,4α-trihydroxy-dihydro-β-agarofuran (2) by spectroscopic method. An acetylated derivative was prepared.
