An unusual β-vinyl effect leading to high efficiency and enantioselectivity of the amidase, nitrile biotransformations for the preparation of enantiopure 3-arylpent-4-enoic acids and amides and their applications in synthesis

(Chemical Equation Presented) Biotransformations of 3-arylpent-4- enenitriles catalyzed by Rhodococcus erythropolis AJ270, a nitrile hydratase/amidase-containing microbial whole-cell catalyst were studied, and an unusual β-vinyl effect of the substrate on
