A series of substituted arenes containing remote chiral centers were screened as substrates for toluene dioxygenase (TDO). The absolute stereochemistry of the new metabolites was determined by chemical and spectroscopic correlation with synthetic standards. There was no evidence for kinetic resolution; enantiomers were indiscriminately processed by the enzyme to diastereomeric pairs, which were separable
