Biooxidation of benzoic acid by Ralstonia eutropha B9 provides an unusual cyclohexadiene carboxy diol that contains a quaternary stereocentre. Tricarbonyliron derivatives of this chiron, on treatment with acid, give two isomeric η(5)-cyclohexadienyl complexes as observed by NMR spectroscopy. Both of these can be subjected to the addition of nucleophiles to provide isomeric cyclohexadiene complexes with new substituent patterns, several of which have been characterised crystallographically. De-metallation of these provides a versatile library of cyclohexadiene building blocks, the utility of which is demonstrated by formal syntheses of oseltamivir. The mechanism of product formation and its stereochemical implications are discussed, as are the procedures undertaken to establish the enantiopurity of a representative cyclohexadiene product.
