Abstract
Cyclododecanone and cyclopentadecanone are both hydroxylated in cultures of four steroid-hydroxylating fungi, but remarkably, neither is affected by Aspergillus ochraceus. Substitution is less selective and formation of only one or two major products is much less the rule than with steroid substrates; di- and poly-hydroxylation apparently proceed very rapidly. Initial attack occurs at the most remote carbon atoms, at C(8) with the C15 ketone and at C(6)[and C(7)] with the C12 ketone.
