A comprehensive series of optimization studies including pH, solvent and temperature were completed on the nitrile hydrolyzing Rhodococcus erythropolis bacterium SET1 with the substrate 3-hydroxybutyronitrile. These identified temperature of 25 °C and pH of 7 as the best conditions to retain enantioselectivity and activity. The effect of the addition of organic solvents to the biotransformation mixture was also determined. The results of the study suggested that SET1 is suitable for use in selected organo-aqueous media at specific ratios only. The functional group tolerance of the isolate with unprotected and protected β-aminonitriles, structural analogues of β-hydroxynitriles was also investigated with disappointingly poor isolated yields and selectivity obtained. The isolate was further evaluated with the α- aminonitrile phenylglycinonitrile generating acid in excellent yield and ee (>99 % (S) – isomer and 50 % yield). A series of pH studies with this substrate indicated pH 7 to be the optimum pH to avoid product and substrate degradation.
Nitrogen-doped cobalt nanocatalysts for carbonylation of propylene oxide

Nitrogen-doped cobalt nanoparticles loaded on porous supports were developed for ring-opening carbonylation of propylene oxide. The catalysts were prepared by simply pyrolysis of Co(OAc)2/phenanthroline and supports. As proved by XPS combined with XRD and TEM characterizations, a higher amount of available Co-N sites were responsible for promoting the carbonylative activity. The selectivity of carbonylated products reached 93 percent, which is comparable to previously reported cobalt carbonyl catalysts. The novel type of carbonylative catalyst also could be reused and revealed fine stability due to the continuous generation of active [Co(CO)4]? species during reaction.
