that angular and lateral cis‐dihydroxylation of tricyclic arene and heteroarene substrates could occur. Biotransformations of biphenylene, dibenzofuran, carbazole and dibenzothiophene, using Pseudomonas putida UV4 whole cells, expressing toluene dioxygenase, confirmed that both angular and lateral cis‐dihydroxylation had occurred in the predicted regioselective and stereoselective manner. The toluene

monocyclic aromatic compounds, are valuable chiral pool intermediates for the synthesis of cyclic natural products. A drawback of this approach, to the synthesis of polycyclic secondary metabolites, is that additional rings must be annulated. To date, relatively few chiral natural products have been synthesized from polycyclic arene cis-dihydrodiols. Fungal metabolites, (-)-ribisins A and B, have now been
