Hydroxylation of monosubstituted 1,3-diphenylpropanes by rat liver microsomes leads predominantly to a mixture of the isomeric benzylic alcohols at positions 1 and 3. Quantitation of the relative concentrations of these alcohols can be achieved by combined gas chromatography-mass fragmentography. p-Methyl, p-trifluoromethyl, and p-fluoro substituents yield product distributions which clearly indicate an electrophilic mechanism for the hydroxylation reaction.
