Rhodococcus erythropolis SET1, a novel nitrilehydrolysing bacterial isolate, has been undertaken with 34 nitriles, 33 chiral and 1 prochiral. These substrates consist primarily of β-hydroxy nitriles with varying alkyl and aryl groups at the β position and containing in several compounds different substituents α to the nitrile. In the case of β-hydroxy nitriles without substitution at the α position
A highly efficient and enantioselective hydrogenation of β-aryloxy/alkoxy cinnamic nitriles and esters under mild conditions has been realized by using a rhodium catalyst with a chiral f-spiroPhos ligand. The method provides efficient access to the asymmetricsynthesis of a variety of chiral β-oxy-functionalized nitriles and esters with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.9% ee) and high turnover
