Selectivity of the (S)-oxynitrilase from Hevea brasiliensis towards α- and β-substituted aldehydes
摘要:
The performance of (S)-oxynitrilase from Hevea brasiliensis (HbHNL) has been investigated with several alpha- and beta-substituted alkyl or alkoxy aldehydes and the results have been compared to the data previously obtained with the (R)-specific enzyme from almonds (PaHNL). With both enzymes there was no chiral discrimination between the enantiomers of the racemic substrates, therefore this reaction cannot be used as a preparative method to achieve both the kinetic resolution of the starting racemic aldehyde and the production of diastereomerically pure (or enriched) cyanohydrins. Additionally, in comparison with the (R)-PaHNL the (S)-selective enzyme from Hevea gave products with higher de, but was more negatively effected by oxygenated substituents.

Almond oxynitrilase-catalyzed transformation of aldehydes is strongly influenced by naphthyl and alkoxy substituents
摘要:
Different alpha- and beta-substituted aldehydes have been submitted to the catalytic action of almond oxynitrilase (PaHNL), in order to explore the influence of a stereocenter already present in the substrate on the selectivity of this enzyme.(1) The results indicate that naphthyl and alkoxy substituents in the alpha- and also in the beta-position to the aldehyde group significantly influence the stereochemical outcome of the PaHNL-catalyzed transformation.
