Three alicyclic compounds (D-camphor, adamantanone, adamantane) were found to be hydroxylated by the cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes P-450cam and P-450LM2. With P-450cam as the catalyst only one product was formed from each of the substrates: 5-exohydroxycamphor, 5-hydroxyadamantanone, and 1-adamantanol. With P-450LM2
