HNL catalysis is usually carried out in a biphasic solvent and at low pH to suppress the non-enzymatic synthesis of racemic cyanohydrins. However, enzyme stability under these conditions remain a challenge. We have investigated the effect of different biocatalytic parameters, i.e., pH, temperature, buffer concentrations, presence of stabilizers, organic solvents, and chemical additives on the stability of Baliospermum montanum hydroxynitrile lyase (BmHNL). Unexpectedly, glycerol (50 mg/mL) added BmHNL biocatalysis had produced >99% of (S)-mandelonitrile from benzaldehyde, while without glycerol it is 54% ee. Similarly, BmHNL had converted 3-phenoxy benzaldehyde and 3,5-dimethoxy benzaldehyde, to their corresponding cyanohydrins in the presence of glycerol. Among the different stabilizers added to BmHNL at low pH, 400 mg/mL of sucrose had increased enzyme's half-life more than fivefold. BmHNL's stability study showed half-lives of 554, 686, and 690 h at its optimum pH 5.5, temperature 20 °C, buffer concentration, i.e., 100 mM citrate-phosphate pH 5.5. Addition of benzaldehyde as inhibitor, chemical additives, and the presence of organic solvents have decreased both the stability and activity of BmHNL, compared to their absence. Secondary structural study by CD-spectrophotometer showed that BmHNL's structure is least affected in the presence of different organic solvents and temperatures.

Enzymatic kinetic resolution (EKR) of (±)-cyanohydrins was performed by using immobilized lipase from Candida antarctica (CALB) under conventional ordinary conditions (orbital shaking) and under microwave radiation (MW). The use of microwave radiation contributed very expressively on the reduction of the reaction time from 24 to 2 h. Most importantly, high selectivity (up to 92percent eep) as well as conversion was achieved under MW radiation (50-56percent).

Page/Page column 11-12, (2011/01/11)
A method of producing an optically active cyanohydrin compound represented by formula (3) (wherein, Q1 and Q2 are as defined below, and * represents that the indicated carbon atom is the optically active center) comprising reacting an aldehyde compound represented by formula (2) (wherein, Q1 and Q2 represent each independently a hydrogen atom, optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or the like) with hydrogen cyanide in the presence of a silyl compound and an asymmetric complex which is obtained by reacting an optically active pyridine compound represented by formula (1) (wherein, R1 and R2 represent each independently a hydrogen atom, alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or the like, provided that R1 and R2 are not the same.) with an aluminum halide.
