The metalation-silylation of O-trimethylsilyl aldehyde cyanohydrins
摘要:
The metalation-trimethylsilyation of O-trimethylsilyl (saturated) aldehyde cyanohydrins was achieved by in situ treatment with LDA and trimethylchlorosilane at -78-degrees-C. C-Silyl products (O-trimethylsilyl acylsilane cyanohydrins) generally predominated, but N-silyl derivatives (ketenimines) were found in some instances. LDA could be added across the C = N bond of the latter. The metalation-trimethylsilylation of O-trimethylsilyl benzaldehyde cyanohydrin could only be effected if 2 equiv of trimethylchlorosilane were employed per equivalent of cyanohydrin anion.

A new hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL) was isolated from the seed of Japanese apricot (Prunus mume). The enzyme has similar properties with HNL isolated from other Prunus species and is FAD containing enzyme. It accepts a large number of unnatural substrates (benzaldehyde and its variant) for the addition of HCN to produce the corresponding cyanohydrins in excellent optical and chemical yields. A new HPLC
