Toluene dioxygenase-catalysed oxidation of mono-substituted benzene substrates (R = F, Cl, Br, I, Me, Et, CH2OAc, CH=CH2, C=CH, CF3, CN, OMe, OEt, SMe) in growing cultures of Pseudomonas putida UV4 yielded the corresponding cis-dihydrodiol metabolites. Palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of cis-(1S,2S)-1,2-dihydroxy-3-iodocyclohexa-3,5-diene with a range of tributyltin compounds provided a chemoenzymatic route to a further series of cis-dihydrodiol derivatives of monosubstituted benzenes (R = D, CH2CH=CH2, Bun, SEt, SPr1, SBu1, SPh, SC6H4Me-4). The enantiopurities and absolute configurations of the cis-dihydrodiols, obtained by both enzymatic and chemoenzymatic routes, were determined by several new methods including 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis of the bis-MTPA esters of the 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione cycloadducts, X-ray crystallography, circular dichroism spectroscopy and stereochemical correlation.
