Rhodococcus equi A4, Rhodococcus erythropolis NCIMB 11540 and Rhodococcus sp. R312 were investigated towards their ability to produce β-amino amides and acids from β-amino nitriles. The microorganisms show comparable trends: five-membered alicyclic 2-amino nitriles were transformed significantly faster than the six-membered compounds and the products of trans-2-amino nitriles (amides and acids) were formed considerably faster than the cis-counterparts (amides). The trans-five membered nitriles gave the amides (1b, 5b) in excellent enantiomeric excess (94-99%), the biotransformation of trans-six membered substrates resulted in the formation of the acid (3c, 7c) in excellent ee (87-99%). The ee's of the cis-compounds were throughout lower. Fifteen new substances were synthesized and characterized in the course of this work.
Synthesis and characterization of trans-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid oligomers: An unnatural helical secondary structure and implications for β-peptide tertiary structure

The preparation, crystal structures, and circular dichroism (CD) spectra of two oligomers of optically active trans-2-aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid are reported. In the solid state, both the tetramer and the hexamer of this β-amino acid display a helica
