19. 19 In order to keep homogeneity throughout this manuscript, the oxirane ring is numbered with the convention that carbon atom C(1) is bearing the "bigger" substituent, and this convention is kept for the diols, i.e. in this case for 2 and 2a, C(1) is the carbon atom bearing the propyl group.
20. 20 Because of the very low rate of hydrolysis of (±)-2 using C. globosum (entry 11), and of the low E value obtained with the other fungi (entry 12-14), the kinetic resolution aimed to obtain the optically pure epoxide (R)-2 was not performed.

24. 24 The difference between the analytical and the isolated yield for this bioconversion step arises from the high volatility of this product, as previously mentioned.
