The baker's yeast mediated reduction of β-keto-α-oximino nitriles 3 at 20 ° C gave β-hydroxy-α-oximino nitriles 4 in high yields with high enantiomeric purity [enantiomeric excess (ee) values >99%]. At room temperature, the same reaction afforded the product in a slightly lower yield. The β-hydroxy-α-oximino nitriles 4 were obtained as single stereoisomers according to chiral GC-MS analyses and the 1H and 19F NMR spectra of the corresponding Mosher esters. The abso-lute stereochemistry of alcohol 4a was determined by hydrolysis of its oximino nitrile group followed by conversion into its corresponding α-hydroxy ester. The β-hydroxy-α-oximino nitrile products were further submitted to oxime- and nitrileselective transformations. This chemo- and stereoselective reduction can be used to generate important chiral building blocks.
Unexpected stereorecognition in nitrilase-catalyzed hydrolysis of β-hydroxy nitriles

Biocatalytic enantioselective hydrolysis of β-hydroxy nitriles to corresponding (S)-enriched β-hydroxy carboxylic acids has been achieved for the first time by an isolated nitrilase bII6402 from Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110. This offers a new "green" approach to optically pure β-hydroxy nitriles and β-hydroxy carboxylic acids. The observed remote stereorecognition is surprising because this nitrilase shows no enantioselectivity for the hydrolysis of α-hydroxy nitriles such as mandelonitrile.

The improved synthesis of 1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole 1 and of mono- and disubstituted derivatives is described and representative experimental procedures are given. Namely, 2-, 3-, 7- and 6-monosubstituted (2-15k), 2,3- and 6,7-disubstituted (16,17) compounds are prepared and characterized.
