Epoxidation of double bond was the main reaction performed by Zoophthora (Erynia) ovispora on methyl and ethyl α‐campholenyl ketones 1 and 6 . Apart from epoxides 2, 3, 7 , and 8 , some other products were isolated, with additional oxygen function in α‐position to the double bond ( 9 and 10 ). The presence of the B AEYER ‐V ILLIGER reaction product (4) and diketone 11 is also postulated.
