Studies on biotransformation of (±)-1-(4′-chlorophenyl)-2- phenylethanol

The metabolism of (±)-1-(4′-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylethanol 1 by the phytopathogenic fungi Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Botrytis cinerea has been studied. Regioselective monooxygenase-catalyzed hydroxylation of C-H bonds yielded the corresponding diols, the ratios of which showed a clear preference for the C-H benzylic bond. m-Hydroxylation in the substituted aromatic ring, a rarely described phenomenon, has been observed and with good enantioselectivity. The chemistry involved in determining the configuration of the biotransformation products is also described.
