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.
The treatment of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal and unprotected D-glucal with trimethylsilyl cyanide, under thermal conditions in the absence of catalyst, afforded the corresponding 2,3-unsaturated glycosyl cyanides in high yield. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Four unsaturated aminopyranosides have been prepared as possible transition-state mimics targeted towards carbohydrate processing enzymes. The conformations of the protonated aminosugars have been investigated by molecular modelling and their ability to inhibit alpha- and beta-glucosidases and an a-mannosidase have been probed. Two targets proved moderate inhibitors of alpha-glucosidases from Brewer's yeast and Bacillus stearothennophilus.
