Using an immobilized nitrilase from Rhodococcus sp. mild and selective hydrolysis of nitriles can be achieved even in the presence of acid or base sensitive groups under neutral conditions. This method is applicable to a broad range of substrates as exemplified by aliphatic, alicyclic, heterocyclic and carbohydrate type nitriles.
cell-catalyzed nitrilehydrolysis in one-pot. The first step, mediated by ketoreductases, involved a dynamic reductive kinetic resolution, which led to 2-hydroxycycloalkanenitriles in very high enantio- and diastereomeric ratios. Then, the simultaneous exposure to nitrile hydratase and amidase from whole cells of Rhodococcus rhodochrous provided the corresponding 2-hydroxycycloalkanecarboxylic acids with excellent
