The enantiomerically pure (S)-cyano acids 3 and 4 can be obtained by biotransformation with Brevibacterium sp. R 312 of the corresponding prochiral dinitriles 5 and 6, respectively. The hydrolysis is probably a two step process involving a nitrile hydratase and an amidase. In connection with these investigations a facile method for the synthesis of racemic 4-cyano-3-hydroxybutanoic acid derivatives was developed.
对映体纯的(S)-氰基酸3和4可分别通过短杆菌属R 312对相应的前手性二腈5和6进行生物转化而获得。水解可能是一个涉及腈水合酶和酰胺酶的两步过程。与这些研究相关,开发了一种合成外消旋4-氰基-3-羟基丁酸衍生物的简便方法。
