Directed hydration of α-amino nitriles was achieved under mild conditions using simple carbohydrates as catalysts exploiting temporary intramolecularity. A broadly applicable procedure using both formaldehyde and NaOH as catalysts efficiently hydrated a variety of primary and secondary susbtrates, and allowed the hydration of enantiopure substrates to proceed without racemization. This work also provides a rare comparison of the catalytic activity of carbohydrates, and shows that the simple aldehydes at the basis of chemical evolution are efficient organocatalysts mimicking the function of hydratase enzymes. Optimal catalytic efficiency was observed with destabilized aldehydes, and with difficult substrates only simple carbohydrates such as formaldehyde and glycolaldehyde proved reliable.

Page 3, (2008/06/13)
A process for the preparation of α-amino acids by hydrolysis of hydantoins in the presence of water and at least one metallic oxide under conditions such that all the starting materials are completely dissolved in the water as a result of high pressure and high temperature and only one further phase is present in the reactor in addition to the metallic oxide phase.
α-Aminonitrile hydration in the presence of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous basic medium
Taillades, Jacques
, p. 89 - 100 (2007/10/03)
α-Aminonitriles are hydrated into α-aminoamides in the presence of hydrogen peroxide in sodic or ammoniacal basic medium. While the hydration mechanism is close to the mechanism described previously in the case of aromatic nitrites, we showed that, in weakly basic conditions, the amine function of α-aminonitrile is competitively oxidized via a peroxyimidic acid by an intramolecular process. In the case of 2-aminopropanenitrile, this reaction leads to pyruvamide oxime. Furthermore, the study of structurereactivity relationships in the hydration of aliphatic and aromatic monofunctional nitriles and α-aminonitriles showed that the reactivity of the substrates towards hydroperoxide onion, which mostly depends on inductive effects of the substituents, is sufficiently enhanced to allow hydration of tertiary α-aminonitriles with low steric hindrance and regioselective hydration of dissymmetric α-aminodinitriles.
