Abstractmagnified imageA one‐pot bienzymatic cascade combining a hydroxynitrile lyase (Manihot esculenta, E.C. 4.1.2.10) and a nitrile hydratase (Nitriliruptor alkaliphilus, E.C. 4.2.1.84) for the synthesis of enantiopure aliphatic α‐hydroxycarboxylic amides from aldehydes is described. Both enzymes were immobilised as cross‐linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs). Stability tests show that the nitrile hydratase CLEAs are sensitive to water‐immiscible organic solvents as well as to aldehydes and hydrogen cyanide (HCN), but are remarkably stable and show useful activity in acidic aqueous environments of pH 4–5. The cascade reactions are consequently carried out by using a portionwise feed of HCN and moderate concentrations of aldehyde in acidic aqueous buffer to suppress the uncatalysed hydrocyanation background reaction. After optimisation, this method was used to synthesise five different kinds of aliphatic α‐hydroxycarboxylic amides from the corresponding aldehydes with good yields and with enantiomeric purities comparable to those obtained for the α‐hydroxynitriles in the microaqueous hydrocyanation using hydroxynitrile lyase and an excess of HCN.

The basis for the assignment of the above configurations is discussed. L-α-Hydroxy-n-valeramide was reduced with lithium aluminium hydride and the product was acetylated to yield L-1-acetamido-2-acetoxypentane. The enantiomorphic form of the latter compound was obtained through the Curtius degradation of D-β-hydroxy -n-caprohydrazide. The configurations assigned to the β-hydroxy-n-caprylic acids are
