The metabolism of (+/-)-1-4'-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylethanol 1 by the phytopathogenic fungi Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Botrytis cinerea has been studied. Regioselective monooxygenase-catalyzed hydroxylation of C-H bonds yielded the corresponding diols, the ratios of which showed a clear preference for the C-H benzylic bond. in-Hydroxylation in the substituted aromatic ring, a rarely described phenomenon, has been observed and with good enantioselectivity. The chemistry involved ill determining the configuration of the biotransformation products is also described. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
