Abstract
m-Bromo-,,-trifluorotoluene (1) and 1-bromo-2,3-difluorobenzene (4) were subjected to microbial oxidation by Pseudomonas putida strain 39/D and the corresponding Escherichia coli recombinant microorganism (strain JM109(pDTG601)), which express toluene dioxygenase. The absolute stereochemistry of the major oxidation products have been determined as cis-(2R,3S)-5-bromo-2,3-dihydroxy-,,-trifluoromethylcyclohexa-4,6-diene (2), and cis-(2S,3S)-1-bromo-5,6-difluoro-2,3-dihydroxy-4,6-diene (5). The regiochemistry of a minor metabolite has been established as cis-5-bromo-3,4-dihydroxy-,,-trifluoromethylcyclohexa-1,5-diene (3).
