Incubation of N-benzoylindoline and N-benzoyl-3-methylindoline with C
elegans resulted in reductive cleavage to produce the corresponding in
doline and benzyl alcohol, while N-benzoyl-2-methylindoline and N-acet
yi-2-methyiindoline were hydroxylated at the benzylic position to prod
uce a mixture of cis- and trans-substituted products; in contrast, inc
ubation of N-benzoyl-7-methylindoline resulted in aromatic ring hydrox
ylation.
