The biotransformation of tricyclo[2.2.1.0 2,6 ]hept‐3‐yl N ‐phenylcarbamate ( 8 ) by a standard procedure using Beauveria bassiana gave a 7:1 mixture of optically active exo , exo ‐ and exo , endo ‐5‐hydroxytricyclo[2.2.1.0 2,6 ]hept‐3‐yl N ‐phenylcarbamates 15 and 16 in 19% isolated yield. No ring opening of the three‐membered ring was observed. Substitution with a fluorine atom at the 5‐ endo ‐ or 5‐ exo ‐position prevented hydroxylation of any alicyclic position of the molecules, p ‐hydroxylation of the aromatic ring occurring to a small extent instead.
