Procaryotic (bacterial) dioxygenase-catalysed asymmetric dihydroxylation of chromene and 2,2-dimethylchromene to yield the (4S)-enantiomers of the corresponding cis-diols exclusively is reported. The epoxide, and derived cis- and trans-diol products from the previously reported eucaryotic (mammalian) metabolism of precocene-1 (7-methoxy-2,2-dimethylchromene), and the corresponding epoxide and diol derivatives of chromene and 2,2-dimethylchromene, have now been obtained in enantiopure form by chemical resolution of the corresponding bromohydrins using methoxy-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid (MTPA) or camphanate esters. The absolute configurations of the epoxides, cis- and trans-diols have been determined by chemical synthesis from, and stereochemical correlation with, the corresponding camphanate and MTPA esters. X-Ray crystal structure analysis has provided an unequivocal method for assignment of the absolute stereochemistry in each case.

New cis-diols metabolites of both aromatic and non-aromatic heterocyclic rings have been isolated from growing cultures of a mutant strain of the soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida (UV4) and stereochemically assigned; a novel heterocyclic cis-diol of benzothiophene, 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzothiophene is found to exist exclusively in the cis-configuration in water but equilibrates readily with the trans-isomer.
