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).

A straightforward process for the preparation of optically active cyanohydrins, important building blocks for the synthesis of drugs and agrochemicals, has been established. Lipase B from Candida antarctica (CAL-B) catalyzes the kinetic resolution of racemic cyanohydrin acetates under mild conditions: optimization of the process led to a user-friendly synthesis of (S)- and (R)-cyanohydrins.
