β¦ Synopsis
The fungus Mortierella isabellina converts ethyl benzene and a number of parasubstituted derivatives to the corresponding optically active 1-phenylethanols with enantiomeric excesses between 5 and 40%.
Hydrogen removal from the substrate preceeds product formation and is stereochemically independent of it.
The fungus Mortierella isabellina NRRL 1757 is an efficient oxidiser of organic sulfides such as A, qiviqg the corresponding R sulfoxide in good chemical yield and in high enantiomeric excess.1
We now report that the same fungus is capable of converting

## Abstract The reactions of benzene derivatives C~6~H~5~X (X = H, Cl, CH~3~ and CF~3~) with hydrazine and ozone in the dark (a source of OH radicals) have been studied in a flow reactor at ambient temperature. (Substituted) phenols were formed, but these were relatively unimportant compared to Nβ
