specificity and syntheticapplicability of the nitrilase from cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 have been examined. This nitrilase catalyzed the hydrolysis of both aromatic and aliphatic nitriles to the corresponding acids in high yields. Furthermore, the stereoselective hydrolysis of phenyl-substituted β-hydroxy nitriles to (S)-enriched β-hydroxy carboxylic acids and selective hydrolysis of α

To explore the synthetic potential of nitrilase ZmNIT2 from maize, the substrate specificity of this nitrilase was studied with a diverse collection of nitriles. The nitrilase ZmNIT2 showed high activity for all the tested nitriles except benzonitrile, producing both acids and amides. For the hydrolysis of aliphatic, aromatic nitriles, phenylacetonitrile derivatives and dinitriles, carboxylic acids
The reductivecoupling of an aryl carbonyl group with an activated alkene to give the corresponding γ‐hydroxybutyric acid (GHBA) derivative was achieved in the presence of zinc and ammonia. A board scope of GHBA derivatives could be synthesized under ambient conditions by this method. A mechanism involving a Zn‐ketyl radical as the key intermediate is proposed.

2-Cyanoethylzinc iodide 1 generated in over 90% yield from 3-iodopropionitrile and zinc in THF can be transmetallated to the copper and titanium derivatives 3 and 4 which react in good yields, respectively, with acyl chlorides, enones, allylic halides and benzaldehyde.
A process for producing a calcium carboxylate comprising contacting a nitrile compound, a calcium compound selected from calcium hydroxide, calcium oxide or mixtures thereof, and water at a temperature of about 90°C to about 250°C at a sufficient pressure and for a sufficient time to produce a reaction mixture comprising calcium carboxylate.
