stereoselective cyanohydrin synthesis in 96-well plates was employed in the development of an efficient, pH-stable hydroxynitrile lyase for the conversion of sterically hindered aliphatic aldehydes. Site-saturation mutagenesis (SSM) resulted in a powerful catalyst for the stereoselective conversion of hydroxypivalaldehyde and pivalaldehyde to their corresponding (R)-cyanohydrins (ee >97%) which are used as chiral

(R)-Cyanohydrins (R)2b-h are obtained in good optical yields by (R)-oxynitrilase catalyzed enantioselective addition of HCN to beta-substituted pivalaldehydes 1b-h. Under optimized reaction conditions with highly purified (R)-oxynitrilase, hydroxypivalaldehyde (1a) is converted to (R)-2a in satisfactory chemical and optical yields. By acid-catalyzed hydrolysis the cyanohydrins (R)-2a-h cyclize directly to give crude (R)-pantolactone (R)-3 with ee-values of 56-95% which, after recrystallization, go up to greater than or equal to 98%ee in all cases.
Calcium Pantothenate. Part 2.<sup>1</sup> Optimisation of Oxynitrilase-Catalysed Asymmetric Hydrocyanation of 3-Hydroxy-2,2-dimethylaldehyde: Synthesis of (<i>R</i>)-Pantolactone
The synthesis of (R)-pantolactone via oxynitrilase-catalysed asymmetric hydrocyanation of 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylaldehyde has been investigated. (R)-Oxynitrilases from almonds as well as from apple and plum kernels were employed as catalysts in the form of defatted meal. A number of factors influencing the hydrocyanation process have been studied and the conditions optimised using statistical methods. (R)-Pantolactone with 74% yield and 30% ee has been synthesised.
