Reaction Steps

A further selective hydroxylation reaction was carried out with the sol-gel-embedded CYP BM-3 on the substrate naphthalene. 77% of the precursor were hydroxylated. The main product obtained was 1-naphthol (85%), and 2-naphthol was obtained as by-product (15%) (detected by gas chromatography).
