Stereospecific Benzylic Hydroxylation of Bicyclic Alkenes by Pseudomonas putida: Isolation of (+)-R-1-Hydroxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene, an Arene Hydrate of Naphthalene from Metabolism of 1,2-Dihydronaphthalene

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39890000339

Metabolism of the bicyclic alkenes 1,2-dihydronaphthalene, indene, and 1,2-benzocyclohepta-1,3-diene by a mutant strain of Pseudomonas putida yields benzylic monols (exclusively with R configuration) as metabolites and vicinal cis diols as minor products having an excess of the S configuration at the benzylic position.
