Abstract

Here we report on the stereoselective benzylic hydroxylation and C1–C2 epoxidation of alkylbenzenes and styrene derivatives, respectively, by a heme-thiolate peroxygenase (EC 1.11. 2.1) from the fungus Agrocybe aegerita. Benzylic hydroxylation led exclusively to the (R)-1-phenylalkanols. For (R)-1-phenylethanol,(R)-1-phenylpropanol and (R)-1-tetralol, the ee reached> 99%. For longer chain lengths, the enantiomeric excesses (ee) and total ...
