Optically active 2-(4-hydroxyphenylcarbamoyloxymethyl)-1-methyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine is obtained on microbiological transformation of 1-methyl-2-(N-phenyl-carbamoyloxymethyl)-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine with a growing culture of the fungus C. verticillata VKPM F-430. Transformation of 2-(2-phenylethyl)pyridine by a methanoxidating culture of Methylococcus occurs either by hydroxylation of the side chain or conversion of the substrate into N-oxide, depending on the process conditions.
