New organofluorine compounds and a biochemical process for their preparation.

摘要

Novel compound cis-1,2-dihydroxy-3-trifluoromethylcyclohexa-3,5-diene (and certain fluoro-substituted analogues) can be produced biochemically by culturing a wild type or mutant strain of P.putida with benzotrifluoride or certain fluoro-substituted analogues as substrate.
