Abstract

cis-Dihydrodiols of anthracene and benz[a]anthracene, and acetonide derivatives of the cis-dihydrodiols of benzene, fluorobenzene, biphenyl and phenanthrene have been identified as substrates for dioxygenase enzymes, yielding the corresponding enantiopure arene bioproducts, bis(cis-dihydrodiol)s and cis-diol acetonides respectively.
