Several commercially available nitrilases were investigated with regard to their potential to hydrolyze N-protected β3-amino nitriles into their corresponding N-protected β3-amino acids. The biotransformations were obtained in different proportions depending on the nitrilase involved. The best hydrolysis results were achieved for the N-Cbz-β3-amino nitrile from l-alanine using the NIT-107, in a phosphate buffer at 0.05 M. However, no biotransformation into the corresponding acids was observed for the N-sulfonylamide β3-amino nitriles. Two simple and efficient procedures to prepare the β3-amino nitriles from their analogous α-amino acids are described. Thirty four new substances were synthesized and characterized over the course of this work.
Synthesis of novel amino-acid-derived sulfinamides and their evaluation as ligands for the enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of ketones

Novel chiral mono-sulfinyl diamines bearing a stereogenic sulfur atom were prepared in moderate to good yields starting from amino acids by means of a reductive amination of the corresponding amino aldehydes. Their potential as ligands for asymmetric catalysis was evaluated in the metal-catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of alkyl-aryl ketones. The catalysts were generated in situ from sulfinamides 1a-i and arene complexes of rhodium and ruthenium, and the catalytic reductions led to the formation of chiral alcohols with up to 91% ee.
