2-Cycloalkyl-1, 3-benzoxazoles and -thiazoles (ring sizes C-3 to C-8)
were biotransformed using the title microorganisms. Products of prepar
ative importance were (1S, 3S)-3-(benz-1, 3-oxazol-2-yl)cyclopentan-1-
ol 6, (1R)-3-(benz-1, 3-oxazol-2-yl)cyclopentan-1-one 8, (1R, 2R)-2-(b
enz-1, 3-oxazol-2-yl)cyclohexan-1-ol 14 and the corresponding cyclohep
tanol and cycloheptanone derivatives.
