Stereochemistry of 1-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol produced by hydroxylation of 4-ethylphenol by p-cresol methylhydroxylase.


ABSTRACT: Enzymic hydroxylation of 4-ethylphenol by (a) Pseudomonas putida and (b) highly purified p-cresol methylhydroxylase gave optically active 1-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-ethanol. The products were transformed into the phenolic methyl ethers and shown to contain 69.5% and 65.6%, respectively, of the (S)-(-)-isomer. The stereochemistry of the reaction is discussed in terms of three distinct steps occurring at the active site of the enzyme.
