Reaction Steps

A further selective hydroxylation reaction was carried out with the sol-gel-embedded CYP BM-3 on the substrate n-octane. 79% of the precursor were hydroxylated. The regio isomers 2-octanol, 3-octanol and 4-octanol were obtained in a molar ratio of 1:2.1:1.6 (detected by gas chromatography).
