RESUMO
The yeast Rhodosporidium sp. metabolized 4-chloronitrobenzene by a reductive pathway to give 4-chloroacetanilide and 4-chloro-2-hydroxyacetanilide as the major final metabolites. The intermediate production of 4-chloronitrosobenzene, 4-chlorophenylhydroxylamine, and 4-chloroaniline was demonstrated by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Additional studies with selected metabolites established that the metabolite 4-chloro-2-hydroxyacetanilide was produced by an initial Bamberger rearrangement of the hydroxylamine metabolite, followed by acetylation. Direct C hydroxylation of the aromatic ring was not observed in this species. No hydroxamic acid production was detected, even though significant concentrations of the nitroso and hydroxylamine precursors to this functional group were observed.
