Abstract

cis-Dihydrodiol, cis-tetrahydrodiol and arene hydrate bacterial metabolites, of naphthalene and 1,2-dihydronaphthalene, have been used as synthetic precursors; chemoenzymatic and enzyme-catalysed syntheses have been used to obtain all possible enantiopure samples of dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene stereoisomers.
