Asymmetric hydrolysis of a disubstituted malononitrile by the aid of a microorganism
摘要:
Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC 21197 hydrolyzed prochiral butylmethylmalononitrile to afford the corresponding amide-carboxylic acid with high enantiomeric excess. The reaction proceeds via the hydration of the starting dinitrile by a nitrile hydratase and the subsequent enantioselective hydrolysis of the intermediate diamide by an amidase.
