The easily available cycloalkanoyl acetic- and propionic acid esters are transformed to the corresponding amines by standard procedures. These in turn provided an efficient access to cyclic α-aminonitriles, which were reacted with a series of Grignard reagents yielding stereoselectively the cis-configured title compounds; the scope and limitation of this route were investigated. The stereochemical assignment was achieved by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Springer-Verlag 2004.

An immobilised whole cell Rhodococcus sp. (SP 361) has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the stereoselective hydrolysis of both racemic and prochiral nitrile containing compounds. 2-Alkyl-arylacetonitriles 6a-8a were hydrolysed to (S)-acids and (R)-amides whereas the closely related substrate 9a gave the (R)-acid.A series of prochiral dinitriles 10a-13a were hydrolysed to the corresponding (S)-acids with e.e.'s 22-84percent.Models to account for the stereoselectivity of the enzymic hydrolyses have been proposed.
