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.
(a)恶臭假单胞菌和(b)高度纯化的对甲酚甲基羟化酶对4-乙基苯酚进行酶促羟基化反应,生成旋光性的1-(4'-羟基苯基)乙醇。产物被转化为酚类甲基醚,结果显示分别含有69.5%和65.6%的(S)-(-)-异构体。根据在酶活性位点发生的三个不同步骤讨论了该反应的立体化学。
